I wanted to sell samosa on the internet. Would YC be a good place to seek funding for such a business?
Samosa because they are versatile across many dimensions: ingredients, taste, shelf-life, and can be easily made in a combinatorics space of these dimensions. They are kind of like how Bubba describes shrimp to Gump.
I once wondered if YC is a good platform for such a business?
- dang 2y agoYC is a good platform for founders who want to build a high-growth startup (which is basically the original pg/YC definition of what a startup is). So your question reduces to whether selling samosas on the internet can be a high-growth business or not, and whether you would want to optimize for that.
- all2 2y agoWe have specialized samosa delivery drones and utilize existing shipping and storage infrastructure. Our samosas are "just add water!" variety and are appropriate for a variety of events and occasions! Weddings, parties, wedding parties, parties with incidental weddings, pizza and beer and samosas, Netflix and chill, and so much more! ... I started with a pitch and it became a late night commercial.
- lappet 2y agoholy moly, if you setup a kickstarter for this, a bajillion desis would support it. curious though, are they going to be frozen samosas?
- ketanmaheshwari 2y agoThey could be three types on that dimension: 1. Freshly made and delivered locally on hourly scale; 2. Take and bake or fry perhaps same day; and 3. Frozen for longer term. I find that desis and non-desis alike are samosa fans.
