Why is the funding market so down? I have great credibility and have founder’s of my past 2 YC companies I worked for vouch for me, still no funding not even an interview. I even have a team now.
Have a product, can’t launch because of licensing issues for now???
Anyways check my website-

Unfortunately, the VC market lacks original thinkers barring a few great folks. Else it's all herd mentality.
Since there's a slow down in the market right now, most investors are naturally sitting out..
I am going to raise from my mentor and friends mostly out of angels.
Good luck to VCs, hope they keep losing money.

Do you think these days founders arent building ground breaking companies and only working on a fictitious TAM ?
-
And is there any good program like YC Startup school in india ? For aspiring entrepreneurs to know how to build their venture.
-
Can full time employees learn from an accelarator and secretly work on their startups ?? I mean, not losing job and trying to validate the need and paying capacity of market. After getting certain traction, leaving full time job. In that sense
-
No. The best founders are grinding hard. We'll surprise ourselves with great startups coming out of India from this vintage.
-
Don't think so. Also unsure how much value these schools truly add.
-
Many such examples already exist. As a result, many good startups come from already successful startups like Flipkart. Similar stuff happening right now at many other unicorns.
