Tell us your startup tale using #StartupNotEasy – Because it isn’t!

Starting a business isn’t easy, it never was and will never be. Good things take time and the business blooms eventually!

The same is the case with start-ups, the term often heard nowadays, a term that has taken over the world. As a result of which, there have been gazillion start-ups across the country and the world.

Some start-ups have it all, some are struggling, and some are on the verge of taking over big businesses. All of this comes with time and experience and the struggle to reach somewhere is real. Not all start-ups have the resources, some have it yet are devoid of its knowledge, and some are making the best use of it.

All in all, ‘Start-up’- a term so short has a journey of an ‘idea’ so long, only the founder knows and only he can anticipate.

The struggle of a start-up!

When I say the struggle -

• It means having endless meetings with uninterested people only to witness a negative response.
• The struggle in terms of how there are ten people to criticize and only one or maybe none to support the idea of starting a business.
• The struggle persists of spending endless nights to come up with a compelling business proposal only to get rejected because they don’t see the ‘scope’ in the idea.
• All of it becomes nerve-wracking when one proceeds to seek funds from investors but comes back empty-handed. The reasons for it might be many, a few inclusive of how the investor was unequipped with knowledge, of how the investor had zero plans of investing yet didn’t resent to a meeting, the risk that the investor was not willing to take.
• The struggle doubles up when one quits their high-end jobs for starting a new venture.

There comes all the negativity from almost everyone, with no one to support your idea.

You end up exhausting all your savings but to no avail because there is no one who believes in you.

You thrive and thrive more, spend each minute of your life to make it happen and sometimes things do not turn out the way you want and if you quit again, there’s the end of the start-up.

• It requires a lot of courage to survive in the real world and qualifications are no bar when it comes to start-ups. A college drop-out needs a driven idea to make it happen and it can do wonders and compete at par with big companies with qualified CEOs.
• The struggle sets in when big investors, people do not consider college-drop outs’ capabilities of making it happen.

The struggle, it is hence real and we understand your plight.
