Day Zero

Another wonderful thread from @Rahul_J_Mathur on GetSupernova.ai’s journey, that Day Zero partnered with literally at the idea stage!! It’s been incredible seeing them making impact in the lives of the learners.

privileged to have the opportunity of backing @maharishi_r_b / @TheAnirudh and the wider supernova team from day zero ! cc @rahulrmv / @Dzerovc

@andrewdsouza @rahulrmv @boardyai Already in it 🚀

@rahulrmv @boardyai @Dzerovc Have you guys signed up for our VC program?

Boardy just made his 100,000th friend! Network effects are interesting. Convincing the first 1000 people to call @boardyai felt like pulling teeth. I begged my family and friends to try it. Even my investors didn’t have the time. When they eventually did, there weren’t many relevant people for them to meet. It was like arriving early to a party. Then when we hit 10,000 people, I knew we were onto something. Every so often I'd hear about someone getting a term sheet, closing a customer, or hiring a key teammates through Boardy. It wasn’t consistent, but things were happening. Now at 100k, every day I hear dozens of stories of life changing connections happening because of Boardy. Founders getting multiple term sheets and closing huge enterprise contracts. It’s still not everybody, but an increasing proportion of people in the network are getting real value. There are still a ton of bugs, Boardy still hallucinates and overpromises more than we'd like, but he’s learning, reflecting and improving. I wonder how long it’ll be before Boardy has 1M friends and it’ll feel like you’re missing out on opportunities if he doesn’t know you. Below is a slide from our seed deck on why investors shouldn’t invest in Boardy. Looks like I’ll need to come up with a new slide…

SuperNova’s story reminds us that great companies aren’t built overnight. They’re discovered. We’re proud to back Maharishi, Anirudh & Nawin, founders who keep adapting until clarity becomes the true moat.

At Day Zero Ventures, this is what we back: Founders who don’t pivot blindly, but evolve with intent. Who test, learn, and adapt until the insight hits.

Great startups don’t just build they adapt. YouTube began as a dating site. Slack was a game. At @Dzerovc, we back founders who move fast and see clearly. Here’s how GetSuperNova.ai turned experiments into a $9.5M ARR breakthrough 👇

We just backed 2 crack teams, so excited to play a small part in shaping up their vision!! 🚀🚀

Still reeling from the launch of Exponent Oto! ⚡️ We got to experience the reactions firsthand: real feedback, real enthusiasm, real energy from the community. Catch the highlights from our launch 🛺👇 #ExponentOto #RetrofitEV #EVs

We recently met Hon’ble Minister of Road Transport and Highways Shri. @nitin_gadkari to discuss highway electrification. Buses & trucks on highways use ~50% of India’s transport energy, hence electrifying them is key. The private sector is building the tech & infra, while govt-led power parks will form the backbone of this transformation. We’re excited to work alongside the rest of the industry and the public sector to make it happen. ⚡🇮🇳 #EVIndia #ExponentEnergy

Happy Diwali everyone! Best wishes on your startup journeys 🚀🚀🚀🚀

Lots and lots of #hiring is going to get autonomous, want a sneak peak on how hiring may look a couple of years from now? Check out thesis dzero.vc/blogs/blogs-ag…

Everyone talks about EVs for the US & EU. But the real revolution? -> 100–200cc motorcycles in India, Africa, Indonesia, emerging nations Did you know, there are 600M petrol bikes on the road today & by 2040, it’ll be 2B.
