Going Broad Usually Isn’t A Great Startup Strategy

During this week’s roundtable, we had as our guest William Hsu, Co-founder, Partner at Mucker Capital, a Los Angeles-based fund that invests largely outside Silicon Valley and follows a more fundamentals oriented approach.

You can listen to the recording of this roundtable here:

True TRP

As for the pitches, first, Ramkumar R S from Mumbai, India, pitched True TRP, a content monetization platform.

Amascope

Next, Catalin Lesscu from San Francisco, CA, pitched Amascope, a film-based promotional service for marketing books.

Menting

Then Damayanti Bandopadhyay from Gurgaon, India, pitched Menting, a platform for mentoring on specific topics. I advised her not to go as broad as she was planning to. Focusing on a niche would be a much better approach for her venture.
