Celebrating Innovation at TechCrunch Disrupt 2024 🎉 At Lerpal, after nearly two decades of helping startups scale and succeed, I couldn’t be more thrilled to watch the energy and ingenuity at TechCrunch Disrupt! Massive congrats to the Startup Battlefield finalists: geCKo Materials, luna, MabLab, Salva, and Stitch3D! Let’s see if they can join the ranks of alumni legends like Dropbox, Discord, Cloudflare, and Mint — no pressure, right? 😉 Kudos to judges Navin Chaddha (Mayfield), Chris Farmer (SignalFire), Dayna Grayson (Construct Capital), Ann Miura-Ko (Floodgate), and Hans Tung (Notable Capital) for lending their expertise and fuelling fresh ideas that could very well become tomorrow’s tech game-changers. Top Lessons We’ve Learned on the Road from Startup to Scale-Up: 1. Define the Pain Point: The best startups solve real problems, not just clever ideas. Nail down the pain point your product addresses — and keep talking to customers to stay on track. 2. Prioritize People Over Product: A strong, adaptable team can pivot as the market shifts. The product can evolve, but it’s people who make it happen. 3. Master the Art of Storytelling: From funding rounds to market launches, a clear, compelling story can be as powerful as any codebase. Make it memorable. 4. Invest in Scalability Early: Build with tomorrow in mind. Smart architecture and scalable systems today will save headaches as you grow. 5. Stay Resilient and Adaptable: Startups face twists and turns; stay agile, keep iterating, and never lose sight of the mission.

There’s been an observable paradigm shift since the mass adoption of LLMs. Startup ecosystem is getting more and more decentralised and easier to break into. We are seeing the rise of Indiehackers, who are shipping products for a niche market within 3 months of launching, thanks to LLMs and No-code tools. Still don’t know whether this will have a lasting effect on the ecosystem but the rise of Indiehackers is evident from communities on reddit and other platforms. Individual creativity is getting more important than ever now in the age of LLMs, if everyone can write a Hello World the only differentiator is creativity in the form of Design thinking, Problem solving mindset etc. #startup #creativity #LLM #Indiehackers
