I am so tired of startups doing worse than me

3•sankde•3h ago
I literally saw a multi million funded startup build an AI model for Android devices and tout it as their best achievement. I put a 32M parameter looped model on ESP32, an 8MB chip. I have three different softwares in production right now. I just don't understand what I am doing wrong. How are these guys getting so much money?

Be confident and pitch unsophisticated fund managers.
sankde•3h ago
I did. The feedback was basically why are you doing this? I said I think so I can scale these models, efficiency and or make a lab of my own

Don’t stop pitching until you’re funded. Every time you pitch should be better than your last. Wishing you funding.
sankde•3h ago
Yes I will keep pitching Thanks for your wishes

Yeah, I corrected all the mistakes there. Are you sure, you can't open it? I have more than 10k visitors

Hah, your mistake is thinking that startup is about building tech. Maybe years ago. Startup is about building a startup, your goal is to do what you need to do to get funded and that is often not building an amazing tech. The fancier your tech the more you come across like a hardcore nerd with no business acumen. This is what the capital owners often think when they come across your type. If you were so smart, why would you waste all that effort building it instead of raising money or getting other people to build it? If your tech is so great, why don't you have bazillion users? Hope you begin to see what you are doing wrong, stop building and optimize for raising money, not users, not more features.

This is so weird, lol. I got the exact opposite advice keep building, and I kept building.
