s-tier startup advice. tldr: “Find the technological shift. Develop a unique insight. Become obsessed with the market. Talk to customers. Find a hair on fire problem. Build the simplest possible wedge. Earn distribution. And most importantly, don't quit when things get hard.”

Founders need to obsess. You only get one life. Don’t screw it up by being average. Go all in. Act like a psycho. Let people call you crazy. I beg you. Obsession is the only way to win.

@Metallic_HuH @Metallic_HuH bro your dms are closed ig

@Metallic_HuH very cool! dm-ing you

dear twitter, please help me find a cofounder, preferably: - technical - wants to attack vertical problems - has a US Visa or is a US citizen (nice to have) - has agency I've raised a pre-seed round from EF, and I'm offering equal split of equity. dm me or tag your friends

@Edmund_Works @ilyesm quite valid, thanks for your perspective, Edmund!

@ilyesm @tusharnandy08 Offering close to equal but still asymmetric lets you speedrun having your first difficult conversation and fight much earlier. Even if you end up landing on equal, it means you've stress tested the relationship up front

I never expected this would reach so many people. A few necessary clarifications: 1. US Visa is NOT a requirement. Drive to build >>> 2. I raised in January and tested 3 ideas with my co-founder previously. We were amidst a pivot when he had to quit due to personal reasons 3. Interested in building for a vertical, but open to exploring

HIRING: Founding Engineer 📍 Location: India (GGN, BLR) // Remote 💰 Pay: $100K - $150K; + 0.5-2.5% equity 🔗 Referral bonus: $10K if you connect me to the person I hire A billion new traders are coming online. None of them are human. RAETH is the exchange where AI agents trade everything. As the founding engineer you'll own core exchange infra end-to-end. Looking for: + 5+ yrs architecting serious production systems (C++, Rust) + Raw intellectual horsepower (ex: built something substantial from scratch, top competition rank, etc.) + Prior experience in high-performance financial software (trading, payments, exchanges) a big plus + Incredibly high agency and conscientiousness To apply: DM or email careers@raeth.ai with your resume and a one-liner about the most exceptional thing you've ever achieved (ex: pnl generated, startup sold, olympiad ra nk, system built, etc.). p.s. please only apply if you truly satisfy the requirements (ex: 5+ YOE)

@ryassho visa is not necessary btw, it's "nice to have"

bro gave up on founders who don't already hold a US visa wild that EF funds this kind of gatekeeping when some of the best builders are outside the US even he forgot that he is an indian also

@derekdfulton we were mid-pivot when my cofounder left due to personal reasons open to exploring together

@tusharnandy08 …to work on what?

That's some use of brain cells 🤡 None of the founders of the company I mentioned prev were americans, but they're now tracking to ~1M in ARR 1. I did travel frequently to the U.S. to meet my customers and validate my idea, and have a B1 too 2. I have experience in cracking distribution and building a network in the US while being in India 3. I also bring capital and am offering a fair split If this seems like a ploy, find something better to do with your time. I was able to connect with some very talented people via this post, none close to being the grifter that you are.

@tusharnandy08 Sure but like im in the US why would i want to work with someone outside? Someone has no sense of the market in here? What would you bring to the table? Seems like a ploy idk

@ilyesm ycombinator.com/library/5x-how…

@tusharnandy08 Equal split? Risky

@Sanyam0605 not a problem, let's connect regardless!

@tusharnandy08 Used to have B1, just expired a year back lmao 🥲

@gargdush an e.g.: A startup I know is building charting software for doctors. If you look deeply into it, charting is not really a problem in India, whereas it's a nightmare for doctors in the US. Some problems just have a US-centric nature, and that's completely ok.

@tusharnandy08 I'm curious what idea requires your co-founder to have a specific visa status???

@Harp342343851 both!

@tusharnandy08 Are you working on a particular idea or open to exploring?

@TobiasBrida you bet 💀

@tusharnandy08 Finding co founders, well… an eternal problem

@gargdush can't pivot the idea overnight, bro

@tusharnandy08 Why do you need someone w a US visa, I see you’re in Bangalore build in India??

@adityapeela bro had to leave due to some personal reasons

@tusharnandy08 Haven't you found a co-founder in EF?

@souvenger no problem, let's connect regardless

@tusharnandy08 unfortunately i have indian passport

@AnupchandY very true, but no harm in increasing my surface area, is it?

@tusharnandy08 you are searching in wrong description they are already attacking if they hold these capability but best of luck

@MusabAnsari_ your dms are not open - i tried reaching out

@tusharnandy08 Sure
