Search is crowded, Do you have a food delivery angle?

In the West, VCs go hunting for potential
They crawl through Reddit, Substack, GitHub, College dormitories, cafes and basements and arrive with term sheets, not judgements—trying to discover what others missed
In India, VCs wait in God mode on the 27th floor of a WeWork building asking
Why haven’t you scaled yet?
Buddy, maybe because no one wrote the first cheque?
In India
You better have a pitch, a deck, traction, unit economics, a spiritual advisor, 12-month runway, 3 co-founders, and a TechCrunch feature—before you're even allowed to enter the Zoom call
Why are Indian VCs always sitting on a pedestal like they're the final boss in a startup video game?
“Tell me your TAM.”
“What’s your moat?”
"What’s your unfair advantage?”
Brother, the only unfair advantage here is your god complex
Why are there 100s of pitch deck makers masked as fund raising experts selling connections and why isn't there a platform where a founder could go and raise money as long as the idea is good ?
Maybe the real reason India isn’t building global product companies isn’t lack of talent
It’s that our capital still wants to behave like royalty, not partners
When will we stop glorifying gatekeeping and start enabling greatness?
