    I Love your content a lot. Thanks for giving so much knowledge.
    I don't know about others, but to me those fake stock footages are very distracting. Sometimes they shift my focus to something else and I have to rewind the video. You can just show yourself talking. That would be more authentic. Thanks again.

    • @backstagewithmillionaires
      @backstagewithmillionaires  Před 2 lety +3

      Hi Naresh, being on camera actually takes a significantly longer time to film, as I need to commit all of the lines to memory and present them to the camera without being able to read off of the script. This video alone took about 2 hours to film, and that was mainly off camera - being on camera would have at least doubled the time to 4 hours, so it isn't really a feasible option for me. But I appreciate you sharing the idea, and I apologize for the distracting visuals! We try our best to line the visuals up with the narration, but sometimes I know they sometimes don't align perfectly with what I'm saying. -Caleb

    Can you explain the revenue model of zepto? Is it commission based or subscription based?

    • @backstagewithmillionaires
      @backstagewithmillionaires  Před 2 lety +6

      It’s commission-based. They take a cut of every order.
      EDIT: It’s possible that this isn’t actually what they’re doing, and that they’re actually intentionally not taking a cut of every order, and if this were the case they would be burning capital to keep their prices low to increase customer acquisition speed. Either way though, this a commission-based business model, even if they aren’t actively taking a cut right now. -Caleb

    Super video. Highly informative for someone who wishes to enter into this exciting area. Would it be possible to let us know what is the failure rate in terms of percentage. For example, if an angel investor invests a total of 100 in 10 different startups, is there any indicative figure as to, in how many of those 10, he actually loses out

  • @Quantum_Dots

    Caleb , Don't you think we need a platform similar to Kickstarter to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship in India without expecting equity or anything in return ?

    • @backstagewithmillionaires
      @backstagewithmillionaires  Před 2 lety +1

      Good question! It's a nice idea, but I wonder if people would be willing to fund projects with no incentive? Trust in Indian startups is at an all-time low due to overvaluation, layoffs, and many startups going out of business due to unavailability of venture capital.
      Adopting a Kickstarter-style model might work though - offering early versions of the product, or some gift/trinket for lower-tier donations. The only issue is that India's current startup ecosystem is really not as hardware-centric as America's (even non-technical founders in US can just outsource to China without much backlash from consumers, but Indian startups will not pursue this for obvious reasons). Kickstarter primarily is a platform for hardware product startups, so maybe that's one of the reasons Kickstarter copies haven't taken off in India. India's startup ecosystem is mainly software, service, or web/app-based startups, and this doesn't work well for Kickstarter.
      But perhaps an Indian version of Kickstarter geared towards more homegrown hardware projects could *kickstart* a hardware revolution in India! That would be really amazing to see. India's hardware space is still so nascent, would love to see it take off. -Caleb

    🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation:
    00:34 🚀 *Ideation Stage: Comparable to a newborn, it's the phase where a startup is just an idea without concrete plans or execution.*
    02:27 📈 *Planning Stage: Founders map out their mission, strategy, potential revenue model, and startup culture, transitioning from the newborn phase to a crawling infant.*
    03:48 💸 *Commitment Stage: The startup is registered, a shareholder agreement is signed, and the minimum viable product (MVP) is developed to attract early customers and potential investors.*
    04:45 🌐 *Pre-Seed Stage Funding: Startups may self-fund, use personal savings, or resort to personal debt funding during the pre-seed stage. External capital may come from family, friends, or angel investors.*
    09:20 👼 *Angel Investors' Criteria: Angel investors look for multiple founders, relevant experience, charismatic founders, and belief in the startup's viability before investing in pre-seed stages.*

    so instead they should just tell ev as just another property of bike or car and instead of playing a victim card of less tech advancements just go out there and compete with exsisting vehicals and compel people to buy EV just because its GOOD
