Startup Founder Argues Scarcity is Advantage for Early-Stage Indian Companies

Imagine you have only a few toys.

You have to choose very carefully which one to play with and make sure you get the most fun out of it.

A founder in India named Tej thinks that when new companies have only a little bit of money, it's like having few toys.

It makes them focus really hard on what's most important, like making sure people want their product and are willing to pay for it.

He says that if companies get too much money too soon, they might waste it on too many things that don't help them grow, like making too many features or having too many meetings.

Tej also thinks that some programs that help startups might not be the best because they sometimes choose companies based on who the founders are, not how well their ideas are working.

He believes that not getting into these programs can actually be good because it means the founders can just focus on building a strong product and making money.
