Q&A: The Death of Web3, Fundraising As An Introvert, Future of Australian Startup Scene


Listen Later

The tech industry has evolved immensely in 2023. It’s time Chris and Yaniv answers the burning questions of startup operators in The Startup Podcast community.

This Q&A episode they explore:

  •  Everyone always talks about how you must continue iterating on a product. Does there ever come a point where there is over iteration? Is there a way of telling when you’ve hit that point where you’ve effectively solved the problems but are now making new problems? Is a problem ever truly solved?

    • Is Web3 dead? Was it a problem in search of a solution? An oversold ape, NFT bought for Dogecoin perhaps?

      • What are your suggestions about reaching out to Angels or VC when you are shit scared and an introvert?

        • I’ve been here for 4 years, moved from Silicon Valley, originally from India. This country is going on a steady path of decline. Like most of Europe, tall Poppy syndrome is rife. GDP has flatlined for 10 years, and innovation is met with severe resistance. There is a massive entitlement culture and so on. The younger generation have a doomer mindset and resorts to victimhood instead of using hardship as a learning process. There’s also a culture of toxic positivity all around where any constructive or negative opinions seem to be frowned upon. I’m happy with my life in Australia, but definitely a bit concerned with the future of this great nation. Is Australia declining? Can anything be done to reboot GDP growth?

        • Thanks to Aidan, Nick, Reese and Aswan for your questions.
