𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧 = 𝐚 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐜𝐤 Vague growth without strategy and targets kills confidence. Why? • Saying "we’ll grow 10x" without specifics is like mapping a trip to “somewhere nice.” • Investors see right through it. Without measurable milestones, it’s impossible to assess risk or reward. For founders, this is make-or-break: ↳ When you pitch, investors want a clear strategy, traction metrics, precise timelines, and actionable steps to scale. ↳ Internally, your team loses focus if they’re chasing foggy goals. Why do clear growth targets win every time? • Investors align with your vision, strategy AND your math. • Teams get laser-focused, driving faster execution. • You’ll spot obstacles earlier, saving time and money. Stop saying “We’ll grow.” Start showing how. ----- ♻️Like, Comment, Share Follow Startup Vencha for more, Stop Thinking & Start Doing.

"Why do you do what you do?" That's the question I was asked at the Internet 2.0 Conference in March. It's simple, really. ❓WHY My family has a rich history of entrepreneurial failure. It's a problem that has followed us around. With [F-ING], Suresh Kothari and I want to follow it back to move the needle on startup success rates. ❓ WHAT We want to build startup support systems to assist #founders across the different phases of their journey so they don't face what we did: wrong problems, wrong teams, wrong timings, wrong business models... ❓HOW By helping founders leverage social capital (networks and interpersonal relations) and arm them with the right tools for thought and entrepreneurial action. That means ✅ more guided touchpoints with other founders, ex-founders, VCs, and researchers, ✅ better experimentation through sandboxes (e.g., deep access to those critically important first 10, 100, and 1000 customers), and, ✅ a penchant for frugality so that customers (and not investors) set the agenda. ❓WHERE Online. Offline. Everywhere but need-based. ❓WHEN Yesterday -- It's a large scope, and we want to start small. We want to start where it all begins, with FINDING: helping founders find and choose problems and opportunities that matter to them (and the world). This brings us to: ❓️WHO First time founders, aspiring entrepreneurs, students, and seasoned operators looking to pivot or apply a different lens to existing proposition. And of course seasoned operators, ex-founders, vcs, angels, and other stakeholders (it's a two-sided proposition). Join us!
