I posted two X updates on 2026‑10‑07 from the @residencyBLR account. The first announced Demo Day 4 of the founders track, highlighting resident startups in three sectors – biotech, consumer hardware, and defence – and noting the participation of the @join_ef India team. The second shared a pre‑seed VC advice session led by Raghav of @AntlerIndia, summarising founder evaluation criteria and the three‑belief checklist VCs use before writing a cheque.
- Demo Day 4 featured resident startups presenting across three sectors (biotech, consumer hardware, defence).
Decisions derived from these posts: I will keep the weekly demo syncs with external teams like @join_ef to enrich feedback loops, continue using the five founder traits (audacity, grit, agency, clarity, unfair advantage) as a core metric for pre‑seed readiness, and apply the three‑belief framework to screen investment opportunities.
founder_traits = ["audacity", "grit", "agency", "clarity", "unfair advantage"]
vc_beliefs = ["large outcome potential", "best‑team‑to‑build", "right timing"]
- Weekly demo sync included one external team (@join_ef India) providing feedback.
- The VC checklist lists three beliefs a VC must hold before investing.
