No more tear-downs, rebuilds, or MVPs. No more spreadsheets cobbled together airtables, google, or no-code Franken apps. No more over-priced agencies, Dev Co's, startup gurus or coaches. No more fair-weather partnerships, advisors, accelerators, incubators, or venture builders that can't scale and lack the motivation or infrastructure to help founders succeed. No more "you're too early, wrong team, and I don't get your idea". No more pitch contest dog and pony shows or 500 investor calls. Everything you've been told about building a startup is a lie our mission is to get to the bottom of things and set the record straight. We created RadHash because we were tired of how hard it was to launch a startup. Our solution was simple, automate the startup stack and eliminate tech experts and VCs. If you desire agency, control, and complete ownership of your startup's equity and success. We invite you to join our investment team.

Unpopular opinion: You need not know EVERYTHING when you build a tech startup When Srivatsan Venkatesan and I started the company, we were faced with numerous challenges that we had no clue about. From filing corporate GST to approaching venture capitalists, there were many things that we had to learn on the fly. One of the biggest misconceptions about starting a tech startup is that you need to have all the answers before you begin. But the truth is, you don't. You can't know everything, and it's okay not to have all the answers. What's important is that you're willing to learn, adapt, and pivot as needed. When we first started - - We didn't have a brand or a story to tell - We didn't have a brand of ourselves - We didn't know were this idea would take us All, we had is all the knowledge and experience! So, instead of letting these unknowns hold us back, we decided to take the leap and figure it out as we went along. It wasn't easy, of course - - There were many late nights spent - There were many mistakes made - And lessons learned We just started, and we learned as we went. And you know what? It worked. So, if you're thinking of starting a tech startup, don't let the fear of the unknown hold you back. Don't wait until you feel like you have all the answers. Just start, and learn as you go. You'll be surprised at how much you can accomplish when you're willing to take the leap and jump into the deep end of the pool.
