Busting Myths about Startups

🎙️Founders Unfiltered Ep-120: Brought to you by the Founders Unfiltered podcast by A Junior VC - Unscripted conversations with Indian founders about their story and the process of building a company. Hosted by Mazin. Join us as we talk to Aviral Bhatnagar, the Founder and Managing Partner of A Junior VC about their story. Aviral Bhatnagar is the founder and managing partner at A Junior VC. He has spearheaded investments across SaaS, consumer, and AI sectors while also managing and expanding the student venture program at Venture Highway. Previously, he played a pivotal role in establishing Guild Capital's India investing practice, leading investments and serving on the boards of companies in edtech, D2C, and SaaS.  Aviral holds an MBA from IIM Ahmedabad, where he was recognized on the Director's List (top 3% of the class), and a BTech in Engineering Physics from IIT Bombay. Notably, he ranked 9th nationally out of over 200,000 applicants in the prestigious Common Admission Test (CAT). 🏢 About A Junior VC: A Junior VC was founded in 2018 with the belief that there was a gap in the conversations by venture capitalists within India’s startup ecosystem. When Aviral started AJVC six years ago, he was a junior with limited knowledge of venture capital. The name "A Junior VC" reflects its core ethos: staying curious, hungry, and driven—remaining young at heart. By 2024, AJVC had grown into AJVC Fund, a pre-seed fund designed to empower India’s entrepreneurs at the earliest stages—a vision first outlined in a 2022 piece about its future. 00:58 Aviral’s Journey 02:00 Entrepreneurship for Aviral 09:55 Pain points addressed as a VC 14:01 Who shouldn’t start a company? 17:24 The founder mindset 20:58 Aviral’s experience as a VC 23:46 The importance of having courage 26:37 The Nudge 28:47 Thoughts on founders from small towns 31:13 The importance of network and the first sale 33:56 Family’s thoughts on Aviral’s venture 34:54 Is there a right age to start a company? 38:01 An advice for first time founders 🌐 For more visit - https://ajuniorvc.com/podcast/ Playlists🎬: 🎙️Founders Unfiltered:    • Founders Unfiltered   🎥 AJVC BTS:    • AJVC behind the scenes   🦄 Start-up Chronicles:    • Start-up Chronicles - Weekly   🔎 AJVC Insights:    • AJVC Insights - Early Days   🎯 Deep Dives:    • Insights & Deep Dives   📈 Founder Insights:    • Founder Insights   🎤 About the Hosts : Aviral Bhatnagar is a VC at Venture Highway and is the Founder of A Junior VC.
