Why do you need to figure the path towards money? Figure the path towards providing as much value as possible and then the money will follow 💸
Do you have cofounders
You will become a unicorn one day ❤
Please do the live or a google meet so that we can also discuss with you and your experience can also help us. Please please think on this
Don't give up man! You got this.
Thanks bro!
Video good but channel have problem. Emergency SEO need then views high subscribe high 2k 3k
thanks for sharing this man, this is helpful
Glad it was hopeful bro!
Good to see you outside :)
Hehe. Summers! But was good advice. I see more subs coming with outside setting. I think once a channel crosses 600-700 subs, it starts to go into mass market and people are more picky. Video quality matters then - early theory.
Bro read Zero To One and has a blast. Do you even hegalian dialectic across the entire property set requried for formulating self-propelling phenomenas? Do you even regulatory compliance? Do you even industrial agglomeration? Do you even linear adjacement production flows? Do you even distribution network densities? Do you even proximity economics? Do you even cryptography? Do you even efficiant allocation thesis? Do you even anti-fraud? Do you even exchange fluidities? Do you even learning economics? Do you even high switching costs? Do you even shared abstraction layers? Do you even high switching costs? Do you even M&As or ETFs or complex coordination? Do you even payment networks or data aggregates? Do you even integrations?
Hey Ashwin, I have a few questions, since you are entering a field that has very little learning material out there since it is a new field, how are you exploring and learning more about this? Also, I graduated this year from the college and I want to do something on my own, can you please give me any advice? Thanks in Advance.
Hi Kostubh. It is not easy question to answer as there is no method. My approach is start with learning anything that I can get my hands on around a topic, then later start to arrange my knowledge. New books do come with time too..
@@BreakingBadInCanada Thanks
One thing more I would like to say nothing is complex its just how many variables you can handle in your mind and calculate 😅
Makes sense, but also it is hard to break down with present science, how mathematical intuition works!
Yeah this is very true even Sundar Pichai said this.
Oh great, what was the context?
channel SEO need then views high subscribe high 2k 3k
Great consistency
Thanks bro!
Hi Ashwin, As I am in college and studying web development coding, I am interested in transitioning into the AI field. Could you please create a video discussing the various aspects of AI resources and learning paths? I am pursuing BTech, but I'm not inclined towards the research path. I want to know what path I should follow to excel in the AI field without focusing on research/phd etc
Hi Anurag. I don't know much about this either because the field is also evolving very fast. But I believe having good understanding of LLM customization & fine-tuning, and hands on experience with libraries like Pytorch should remain significant for a long time.
@@BreakingBadInCanada ok Ashwin, As you are far ahead in your career, it seems you have observed the journeys of many juniors. What general advice would you give me as I am just stepping into the professional world?
Hi Anurag. Try to find an area at the intersection of what has good career opportunities and you like it regardless of money. Then apply yourself fully in learning as much as you can, and keeping up to date with latest in the field!
Thank you
You're welcome!
just a thought, for the idea you are exploring is it possible to just use opensource pre-trained models for the MVP ? the first product might be dirty but you could start gathering your own data from users with it if not available readily to improve or build new models
Yeah I will definitely build over the shoulders of giants. Though right now not thinking of building own models, but more of developing framework around analyzing and optimizing models. Lets see how this goes..
SEO need then 1k views high, 2k views
I am also deeply exploring ideas and sectors like Enterprise LLM Security, Model Security, and things like that. So yeah agree with you!
Awesome bro, would be great to stay in touch!
❤❤❤
bro can you show us what your building?
Hey bro. This was the product I was working on few days back: ua-cam.com/video/jqe3ORVoZ4s/v-deo.html But now I am pivoting from it because of regulatory issues. Not fixed on the new idea yet..
Hi Ashwin, I am currently in college and feel very confused and scared about my future, especially when it comes to taking risks. However, after seeing your journey from IIT and how you stepped out of your comfort zone to build things, I realize that there will always be fear at every stage. It's our mindset and goals that differentiate us from others.
Hi Anurag. You are right, there will always be fear and best way to handle it to recognize and accept it as you did! You will do great. All the best!
I am also planning to do in the same field the one you did but in the hiring space
Oh great bro. All the best for your venture, hope it works out for you!!
All the best for your new startup.
Thanks Kostubh!
the end of the product.... But it is cool software and may have different uses other than cold calling
Thanks bhuvan, glad you liked the product. Yeh actually can have other uses, but also may be not so perfect fit as in cold calling because in cold calling scripts are fairly simple and repeated, but delivering them consistently is emotionally hard. I think I am finding also better opportunities, so not so bad in the end..
Enjoyed folllowing your Vlogs the last couple months. Best of luck on the new venture!
All the best for your future endeavors Ashwin!
Thanks mohnish!
Great product Hope you continue this journey which will inspire alot of ppl like me
Thanks bro, definitely continuing!
I been watching you from day 0. Can you tell me what skills skill does a technical founder should have? and also you as a technical person what skills you look in your business founder?
Hi Shubham. I think startup has to always work on latest technologies, so strong foundation and aptitude to pick up new technological skills quickly is desirable. For business co-founder I will look for #1 Compatibility in values, goals and experience and #2 Willingness to put yourself out there - do whatever it takes to be seen and heard. And Thanks for watching!
as in the fcc rules . it mentioned that it is prohibited for telephone calls but not of zoom,google meet etc....
True that, but I don't know how to make video stitching seamless. Audio was easy in that way..
Why you are not trying this in India what is the average cost of one call of like 1 minute
even in other countries
Made new video on that today. Thanks for the suggestion!
wow, i am really inspired by your dedication and consistency. Wising you luck bro
Thanks @yamikant
Keep going!
Thanks bro!!
Don’t let this bring you down. To be successful you will have to continue overcoming obstacles. Keep up the good work!!
Yeah bro, trying!
if you can think of stuff like this you can think of other stuff don't let this be an obstacle
Hmm. Thanks for motivation!
Uber was illegal as well. You shouldn't stop and create problems where problems are imaginary.
Wow, those are powerful words!
sorry to hear this bro, keep your spirits up whatever you decide to do.
Thanks bro. Will do so!
but this sounds very awesome... i am really waiting for full-fledged MVP to try out
Thanks bhuvan. Soon!
Glad that you read 0 to 1 book by peter thiel❤ keep up brother!
I read the summary, hope I am aligned with his concepts!
Your best version shines in your silence. Relax!
Thanks bro, will keep in mind!
Never Stop Creating 🥺 we are the future
No bro, not stopping! But only thing is making existing features more concrete first - bugs free - less features but well tested.
What is the solution for this problem?
Sorry bro, i don't have a nice answer - my solution is to ignore India and try to find ways to sell in America.
@@BreakingBadInCanada okay bro, thank you for answering.
Bro do u have any discord server
Not yet bro. I am not quite familiar with discord - is it common for startups to post regular updates on discord even for non-users?
Discord is not majority for posting your updates abt products still u may find great ppl nd also u will get genuine review
Bro just wanna know ur thoughts on my startup idea where i started with 3d printing homes nd after knowing its a very capital intensive market i may find differently in getting funded easily so i switch my domain to renewable energy current im research abt solar also feel its also very competitive the main thing is a feeling demotivated everything i do a market research wt suggestions u can get Pls reply 😢😢
Bro I understand totally where you are coming from, I went through a similar phase. Finally what I understood is that I cannot be completely rational about which space to work on - because it is a very complex analysis, so many factors and it is impossible to predict how they will play out in future. Some days all factors will seem in favor of the idea and you will feel excited, other day you will discover new information that will seem to devalue it and you feel demotivated. So I stopped thinking like an investor, trying to fit myself into some space that is 'hot' at the moment. Instead think of the areas that you want to explore and ready to immerse into based on your interests and start going deep in it - ideas will come once you understand a narrow aspect of a space much better than anyone else. All the best!
I totally appreciate your suggestion I'm just exploring currently.
No problem, my pleasure!
Bro wow watching your channel after like 100 days - I am in awe of how you have gone 200 days at a stretch. This by itself is astounding and a resume! Please do not delete this channel 😍 admire the consistency! All the best for your product
Thanks bro 😍 Welcome back! I am now actually making some gaps in between 😬 partly also because growth is almost stagnant now. But definitely there are other benefits, like you mention building a resume and also I get some practice of 'storytelling' 😀 Howz you been?
If the AI can detect the prospect's intent, then you could let your user know bout it Live during the call which gives them a hint to not go further down that particular convo and it's time to switch the flow of the convo to make the chances of closing that client better. Hence it acts as a mentor live during the calls😅
Great idea. I was looking at rasa, dialogflow and wit.ai for this. Looking for something that can detect intents without converting to text, know any good one for that?
I think frugality is important (like for the table here ua-cam.com/video/jEvHy7-JZH4/v-deo.html ), but so is strategic spending if all you need is a prototype and your team is just you and your co-founder, I think AWS is not necessary, if you can setup a old PC with good 2nd hand GPU to act as a remote GPU server. But, the cost is that someone might need to regularly work on maintaining it instead of working on the product/customer directly. Advantage of AWS is that its easy to scale and hassle-free/low maintenance, but man training the huge models is expensive and costs add up very fast if you are not careful. so what I would do is figure out the cost vs benefit for any kind of such spending instead of emotion based decisions. for the domain part, I think having it as soon as possible gives your business a sort of credibility for potential customers who have heard about you. aren't there cheap options since your expected traffic would be low ?
Awesome video, thanks for sharing! Do you think 2nd hand GPUs are available for cheap now? Hosting is pretty cheap, instead I got it for free from cloudflare, but domains themselves that end in .ai are very expensive. Also the issue is product name is not decided, and may also need to pivot the whole product itself. Anyways i got a temporary domain ending in .com for 6$, using the company name (Binomial Inc) instead of product name. Not the best but will do for a while..
@@BreakingBadInCanada Depending on your GPU requirements its kind of a hit and miss but prices did have come down a lot compared to before, if you want it really cheap then you would need to wait for nvidia 50 series launch (not suggested since don't know how long you need to wait).
