startup funding is a total scam!

Can we talk about how ridiculous the startup funding scene is in India? It feels like VCs are throwing money at anything that has "disruptive" in its pitch. I mean, I’ve seen startups with zero traction getting millions while solid ideas struggle to get a dime. Are we just feeding into a bubble that’s going to burst?

L take. I feel that Indian VCs only care about proven startups from the west being copied in India.

Most of the VC firm are operated by IIT or IIM passouts. And they are more interested in starups from their alumni. I witnessed starups getting funding just because they know someone in the firm and its like a cake walk for them.
