I am building Bharosa for exactly this reason. When families suffer from rare/extreme diseases they should have an outlay, a platform to talk about it and seek comfort. When they seek medical help they should know who is a good Doctor and who is not. I have been thinking about Billy since yesterday and thousands of brave kids across the world who are suffering from DIPG and other form of rare diseases. If my efforts can save even 1 kid or give comfort to even one family. It will be all worth it. Rest in peace Billy boy. Lots and lots of love and hugs to @ellielexx and her family. 🤍

@siddharth_iitm I see. So is RO better or Bisleri?

@TheOneDit Yes, I do. 20L Bisleri cans at home.

When I shifted to Koramangala, Bangalore, I observed a visible decline in my ability to function at work. I couldn't do deep work, focus or handle stress. I also observed that I wasn't enjoying my meals as much. Tried many things - reduced coffee, eliminated milk from diet, increased workout, sun exposure, etc. Nothing worked. Then, spent some time for a work event at a hotel where I consumed only Bisleri water. And found myself to be very energetic. Gut and mental health felt better. It has been 4 years since that event and I have been consuming only Bisleri water. The 20L cans are quite affordable.

@siddharth_iitm But you don't use bottled water at home I assume?

@TheOneDit Yes. From Livpure/Drinkprime

@VishalBhargava5 Temporary hai yeh

One consequence of the sharp slowdown in Gurgaon market: Builders finally started respecting Brokers.

@FrancisPSantora Interesting. What if you don't particularly see any value you add in a startup but still want to invest? Do you still move forward?

“If your goal is to get into angel investing, one of the things that no one ever says is the amount you invest is almost irrelevant. If your job is to learn and demonstrate you add value, then just write small $5k checks. I see so many people that never start angel investing because they think they have to invest $200k at a time. It’s crazy. If you believe you’ve got to learn, you want to start early with small checks and prove you’re valuable and then actually see if you’re any good at it.” - Tom Hulme from GV on 20VC

@TK_HelpDesk It's been near 24 hours

@TheOneDit While I unfortunately cannot give an exact time so as not to misguide you in any way, I can assure you that you will be informed immediately after progress on the matter. Your patience is much appreciated. ^Efe

My best friend is stuck in Dubai and @TurkishAirlines refuses to help. This is how one of the largest carrier of Asia is blackmailing people for money. Read this till the end to save yourself from misery. My buddy Indraneel lands in Dubai on 27-28th Feb from TK 764 just a few days in the situation went south. The original return flight was on 8th March which was later postponed to 13th March then to 16th March and now 20th March. The thing is we have no confidence that Turkish will fly on 20th and now we want the refund. However, Turkish is refusing to give refund simple because he 'accepted' the flight change and was ok to fly on 20th. €465 on the line , no customer support, and pure blackmail. Now what option my friend has? Wait till 20th , hope it flies, if it doesn't ask for full refund and then wish that Emirates doesn't hikes it's price. How is this like not being held hostage of the situation? In this extraordinary circumstances is it not justified to support customers? Finding a small loophole of sorts and not helping customers - how is this justified? My man has a family to attend, a job to manage, and running expenditure of living in a foreign world. TK 765 and TK 1955 @TurkishAirlines you gotta refund right now. That's the only right things to do.

@furst_fly Gazab. Top answer for the YC application and great job.

We hacked the AI India Impact Summit!! Let me explain. Even the cheapest exhibition Booth in the Summit costs more than ₹30,000, which me and my co-founder as students, simply couldn't afford. So we attended Day 1 as regular participants and studied how the event worked. While walking around, we noticed several booths sitting empty. We asked the floor manager about them, posing as student journalists from our college magazine. Turns out a few startups had cancelled last minute. (he even gave us a list with booth numbers lol) Me and @Dawar1213 looked at each other, ran outside, printed a very cheap poster for about ₹100, and set up shop in one of the empty stalls. We kept it going for all 3 days. you won't believe the connections and oppurtunities we got bcoz of this. This is also our answer to YC hack question, what do you think? what were some of the other memorable answers to this question? @garrytan @harjtaggar @agupta @aaron_epstein @snowmaker @t_blom @bradflora @koomen @bosmeny

@BadCapitalVC Any other openings?

@TheOneDit hey Vandit, the role is now closed

about time an AI x social app makes it to the top of this list

Exchanging voice notes and brainstorming with @boardyai is my new fav thing every morning.

Be in the right city Attend the right events Keep meeting founders who are funded Cold email VC but not with the expectation to raise funds but to have an initial connection with them Get traction (the best magnet) Get revenue Show growth (20-30% month on month) Have a killer social media presence Keep trying, keep hustling

@TheOneDit @furst_fly So how do we get the intros to VCs as an outsider with no such connections? Genuinely curious

My Co founder reached out to a couple of "pre-seed" VCs in India. This was the response. and people wonder why India doesn't have a good startup ecosystem lol!

@HarryStebbings Ah man ☹️

I put this on LinkedIn 9 hours ago for a new EA position for me. 1,820 applicants in 9 hours. Not sure what this says about labour markets but wow.
