Compelling look at how real constraints breed real innovation. The BusCaro story after 1000+ rejections is wild, that level of persistance in an environment where capital is scarce totally reframes what "validation" means. Saw something similar when I was working on aproject in emerging markets where founders couldn't afford to pivot endlessly like Silicon Valley startups do. Forces you to actually solve the problem instead of chasing the next shiny fundraising round.
Exactly this. When capital is scarce, “validation” stops being about decks and demos and starts being about survival. You don’t get to pivot for vibes, you either solve a real problem or the business dies. That pressure creates a very different kind of discipline and ultimately founder profile + results. Thanks for being here!
