apna's latest round is a significant milestone early in its journey. But the team is just getting started on their ambitious plans! We've shared the journey so far from our lens -- why we invested and what early founders can learn from them here:

#3 Storytelling inspires action: In a company's early days, skeptics will tell you why it won't work and in apna's case there were MANY! Nirmit's ability to authentically tell the story of apna and paint a vision has turned skeptics into believers every step of the way (4/5)

#2 Clarity powers speed of execution: When there is clarity and confidence in the early design choices (product, business, hiring), it empowers the org to execute with speed and rhythm. The design choices of apna have stayed consistent allowing them to move incredibly fast (3/5)

#1: Independent thinking meets consumer insights: Pre-PMF we see founders either focus too much on user feedback or on their own intuition. quickly struck a balance between these two, rapidly iterating in the first few months to find PMF (2/5)
