Colors: Blocks VII

I’m publishing this series on LinkedIn called Colors to explore a topic that I care deeply about: the Renaissance Mind. I am just as passionate about entrepreneurship, technology, and business, as I am about art and culture. In this series, I will typically publish a piece of art – one of my paintings – and I request you to spend a minute or two deeply meditating on it. I urge you to watch your feelings, thoughts, reactions to the piece, and write what comes to you, what thoughts it triggers, in the dialog area. Let us see what stimulation this interaction yields. For today – Blocks VII

Sramana Mitra: So then how long did you do this business? And what kind of revenue levels or what kind of scale were you able to achieve?

João Aroso: We did that business for two years and one of my co-founders from my first startup is still there today. I left, but the company is still very healthy.

Roundtable Recap: May 9 – It’s OK to Discard Ideas

During this week’s roundtable, we discussed validation requirements in early-stage startups.

ONI Early Life Programming

First up, we had Sunil Punjabi from Mumbai, India, pitch https://www.onicares.com/Home, a hospital EMR system focused on caring for pregnant women. We discussed what would be considered a validated business.

Centaurnex

Next, we had Samson Darlong from Riga, Latvia, pitch Centaurnex, an idea-stage venture that appears extremely capital-intensive. I advised him to discard this idea and go back to the drawing board.
