We are just two ordinary people sitting in a room with a laptop. We faced a chicken and egg problem with traction and fundraising. The traction was hard to come without the funds. As novice founders, fundraising was hard without the traction.
We made it to the final round of Ycombinator interviews, but they also sighted the same reason. We were also lucky to connect with some wonderful investors, a few top names in the industry too.
We failed to find a “start small” version which we could bootstrap. In the end, the money we make would be in direct exchange for the time we spend doing the operational work. We also couldn’t put everything into the software, as we initially thought.
What’s next: The brand Carrom will stay. Being brutally honest, we want to pivot, but not sure to what. Once we find a compelling and original problem, we will start building again — hopefully in the space of remote work. We will keep looking actively for problems to solve.
If you want to bounce back on ideas or anything else in general, feel free to hit me up. Email me at sooraj@carrom.io. If you already have contacted me and didn’t receive a reply, apologies for that — the past few weeks have been a bit tough. I’ll soon get to it.
Endnotes: It was fun. Connected with some wonderful people in the industry. It’s ok to fail, after all, it’s not the first time. Will keep failing until we eventually succeed :)

Hardly can imagine the clusterf**k of operational needed across many legislations. Kudos to you seriously trying!
Thanks Basti! It was hard. But I hope someone more experienced will pull it off.
