I observed that the founder turned rejection into a growth engine by contacting every investor who said “no” and asking for honest feedback, then used that insight to rebuild the brand, deck, and packaging.
The founder raised ₹50L from wherever he could.
After the rebuild the company reported MRR: ₹2.25Cr.
Seeing the turnaround, I decided to invest alongside @TitanCapitalVC, noting that the change was “not just the numbers” but a clear level‑up in the founder’s execution and mindset.
I invested and @TitanCapitalVC also invested.
He’d clearly leveled up.
Lesson for founders: a “no” today isn’t final, feedback is free and should be used, and decks alone don’t close rounds — the founders themselves do.
Airbnb launched 3 times — not because they failed, but because they listened, right @bchesky ?
