Harvard studied 10,000 founders. 65% of high potential startups fail because of conflict between the founders. Not the product. Not the market. The people who started it. 💀 Nobody screens for this. You’ll spend three months validating an idea and ten minutes deciding who you build it with. Three things to ask before you’re in too deep: 1. When the first real money comes in, do you take it out or put it back in? 2. What’s the timeline? I’m building for five years. If he needed profit by month six, we’d look fine right now and be finished by January. 3. What would he do if someone offered to buy it tomorrow? Not a huge number. A boring one. The first offer is always the hardest to say no to. My boyfriend and I are building a tech startup together, so these are conversations we’ve actually had. And none of it is about whether you like each other. Karl and I could get along perfectly and still be wrong for this.

Y’all! 200k! 🥹 Thank you SO much for your support, your trust, your encouragement, and your dedication to the masking lifestyle! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Every single time one of you recommends this account to a friend it matters!

Meta signed a massive deal with Kunal Shah and CRED, but their lawyers are treading very carefully with CRED's user data. Why, what's stopping them? 🛑👇🏽 When Meta made its big move with CRED, they publicly declared they wouldn’t touch a single byte of CRED's user financial data. Most tech founders think a strategic partnership means a free-for-all data swap. They assume combining forces means combining databases. Big mistake. Under global data regulations like GDPR and India's DPDPA, there is a strict rule called Purpose Limitation. Simply put: You can only use or access data for the exact, explicit reason it was originally collected. If users gave you data for credit card rewards, you cannot legally hand it over to a partner for targeted advertising or profiling. Doing so doesn't just invite compliance audits—it risks crushing your startup’s valuation with massive regulatory fines. If you are a founder scaling a tech startup, your partnership agreements need strict data governance clauses. Before you sign any B2B or platform agreement, ensure these rules are locked in: 1️⃣ The Authority Border: Legally restrict your partners to only touch data they have explicit, unbundled user authority to access. 2️⃣ Consent Firewalls: Build tech and legal walls proving that data stays localized to its original intent unless fresh consent is taken. 3️⃣ Breach Indemnity: Ensure that if a partner misuses your data ecosystem, the legal liability and financial fines sit squarely on their balance sheet, not yours. Data is your greatest asset, but without the right data governance and compliance architecture, it’s a liability bomb. Fix your contracts before you pitch your next big integration. Drop a 🛡️ below if your data governance is actually locked down. #kunalshah #entrepreneurship #techstartups #techfounders #startup

Dynamic pricing feels wrong when you are on the consumer side, but it is the reality of how the world operates today. Smart pricing isn’t about guessing. It’s about aligning real-time value with live customer demand. 📈 When today's algorithms instantly adjust umbrella prices the moment rain hits a zip code, that isn't random. It’s automated revenue management. Now, brick-and-mortar retail extensions are adopting this exact same hyper-efficient technology. 🛒💡 By pairing in-store CCTV cameras with computer vision models, modern stores can track foot traffic, customer density, and dwell time across specific aisles. Connected directly to Electronic Shelf Labels (ESLs), price tags automatically optimize in real time based on footfall and stock velocity, maximizing margin per square foot without manual intervention. Static pricing leaves profit on the table. Dynamic pricing ensures your margins match true market value every minute of the day.

“Stop Hiring Humans!” That’s the marketing slogan for Artisan, a tech startup that just raised $25 million according to Tech Crunch. But when there are no more jobs left, whose money will they take? ⚡️🪼 #ai #tech #sales #marketing #techcrunch

The economy’s like a tech startup on steroids- sometimes you gotta cut the fat to fuel the fire. Look at guys like Elon Musk, slashing and burning their way to the top. Could we do the same on a bigger scale? Share your thoughts below! #jordanbelfort #therealwolfofwallstreet #elections #elonmusk #trump

Should Your Business Carry Your Identity? 🤔 This is a question I’ve wrestled with deeply over the years. In the early days of building our company, I remember our accountant offering advice that stuck with me: “The business is its own person, and so are you.” That distinction matters more than many realize. At first glance, it seems intuitive to pour your personality, values, and voice into the business—especially if you’re in the early stages or building a lifestyle brand. Your identity shapes the story, the marketing, and even the culture. In this case, your social media, your voice, and your presence become synonymous with the brand itself. But what if you’re building for scale? What if your goal is to create something that lasts beyond you—something that can operate, grow, and serve even when you’re not in the room? In that case, the business must have a structure and identity that can live independently. It needs systems. It needs leadership beyond your name. Too often, when entrepreneurs step away, their business disappears with them. That shouldn’t be the legacy. Here’s something to ponder on. Are you building a lifestyle business—like a solo coaching brand, a boutique agency, or a creator-driven venture where your name is the brand? Or are you building a scalable company—a tech startup, a training institution, or a product-driven business that can attract investors, hire leaders, and operate without you? Your answer determines how you build. And more importantly, it determines who you’re building for. #JPH

From toddler to teen to tech startup @context.hq ❤️so proud of you MrC on your masters in computer science/AI 🧑‍🎓 #Baccalaureate @stanford @calvinlocklin ❤️✅😍 #gradschool #stanford #ai

Two years as a Harvard Business School FIELD Global Capstone Partner. Proof that what we’re building here goes far beyond just PropTech. We shape mindsets and build talent. For one week, an HBS MBA team took on a real Nawy Shares challenge. No case study, no classroom. Just a live business problem and the freedom to explore it. Their last impression of Cairo? “Walking into Nawy felt like stepping into a tech startup in California. The energy was the same, maybe even stronger.“
