Only the few 1% of IITians will be able to build long lasting startups. Despite all the network and access to resources Most of them have forgotten that it took 8-12 hours effort to achieve something The rest are comfortable with what they have and never have intense desire.

Interesting to see the battle of Ego's by @ycombinator and @apartovi VCs shitting on each other is a private room phenomenon and I always consider these types of VCs to be extremely insecure Looks like top tier VCs are too All one needed was a little ego war to break the role

Iโ€™ve heard so so much dirt on Ali Partovi @apartovi from YC founders over the yearsโ€ฆ anyone thinking about working with him or Neo needs to be careful and do their diligence. Ali - the fact that youโ€™re calling @garrytan a bully is laughable. You should check whatโ€™s going on in
