@pothamram Like an elective that's along the line of Economics

Less "pay-to-play". More bootstrapping. And let's level the playing field for those without Silicon Valley connections. Basically, democratize startup success a bit more.

@dia_wash_nj agreed with you, but so much to unpack.

The bias of investors towards serial entrepreneurs, alma mater, and networks.

@senthil99nathan They do have more experience than the first time founders. Even if you failed before they still know you already been there, so they will trust you more.

Encourage founders to validate product viability early in order not to waste time building things that have already been built by thousands of others.

@gene_nemirovsky Copy-paste-improve is a good strategy now days.

hey, happy Monday! if i could tinker with one element, it'd be reframing failure. right now, failure is often treated as a setback, a blemish on one's startup journey. yet, failure is less of an end, more of a semicolon. it's a stepping stone, a chance to learn, refine, grow. some of our most groundbreaking solutions have been born from the echoes of failed attempts. i'd love for us to shift the narrative - from fearing failure to embracing it as part of our journey. let's encourage a culture of learning, resilience, and growth. after all, every stumble brings us one step closer to that breakthrough leap. πŸš€

Easier understanding of government funds and grants for early-stage startups.

Minimalistic entrepreneurship! Be profitable as soon as possible and grow healthily.
