?makers this is super cool! AJuniorVC content never disappoints. Reminds me of the comic characters from NCERT books to explain science concepts. Wanted to know why you chose figma files, and not embedded pdf/images?
Manshi Sanghai
@adityavsc Thanks for your feedback Aditya. Glad we helped you take a trip down the memory lane. We chose Figma files because we have interactive content on top of the concepts.

Much needed product. India is going through a revolution in startup space and someone needs to document this. All the best for this team.
Chetan Manda
@lastyprsfe thank you for your kind words, means a lot!

hey, congratulations on the launch. Are you planning to incorporate other amateur friendly interfaces like animations and short films along with comic strips to diversify the style of content display?
Manshi Sanghai
@gupta_ayushh Thanks Ayush. Interesting idea, we have thought of short films before. Will add this to the bunch of explorations we have planned!

?makers Having a humanities background working for a startup for the first time this is really helpful, but also fun ;) Great job!

@aviralbhatnagar @chetanmanda looks great, I raised VC 10 years ago so take a lot of the jargon for granted now but forget how hard it was to get up to speed. I would love to see a term sheet written like this.
Nihal Bhushan
@aviralbhatnagar @chetanmanda This looks very encouraging. Congratulations on your launch.
Pierre Kraus
That's an clever concept and I bet will give confidence to people to step into the startup world and start to test the waters!
Manshi Sanghai
@pierre_kraus we hope for the best! Thank you for your support :)
Russ Gavrilyuk
Love it, really good job - reducing barriers and making sometimes complicated things very clear and understandable should change this world and bring a lot of good and important solutions for the people
Vinam Suri

Manshi Sanghai

I agree with you. When I read such information, there is a desire to start doing something. Before, I was always stopped by the risk. I was afraid of difficulties. As soon as I built a clear plan of action and moved on to part of the costs, I became nervous. I was scared to be left without money and with a lot of debts. But I decided to fight my fears, and next year I plan to open a business. I decided that I would take the initial capital for https://www.nationalbusinesscapi... and develop a plan of action. I also calculated all the costs. However, I need to think about what to do in case of ruin. Of course, I can't think about bad things, but still.
Sarah Hollingsworth
This reminds me of @imsabakarim's tweet about all the startup acronyms. Congrats on a great product & launch!
ARYA AGARWAL
This is the most fun educational site to exist which has a clear and compact goal of helping newcomers understand start-up terminologies they’re too shy to ask from experts around them. As a beginner trying to understand the startup world this concept will come handy for briefing through technicalities while working!
Manshi Sanghai
@aryaaagarwal glad you found it useful Arya. Thank you for the wonderful feedback!
Anshuman Dhar
So happy to see the launch mate! A great concept for a space that severely lacks "teach me like I'm 5" kinda resources. Good job making a gateway into the ecosystem more accessible to everyone. I know how much time and effort goes into this, and I hope more people come across this ✨
Chetan Manda
@anshuman_dhar Thanks ma man! You've always been an inspiration, your comment means a lot <3
Aviral Bhatnagar
Great job by the AJVC team on bringing this to life. Proud to share this with all the founders I work with :)
Quang Nguyen
Love the contents a lot. There are many concepts outside about business, marketing, legal stuffs around startups that technical people like me can learn, especially in a quick and fun way. Congrats on the launch and thanks a lot.
Manshi Sanghai
@quang_nguyen Glad you like the offering, the intent was exactly that. Thank you for the feedback, it means a lot :)

This seems awfully similar to growth.design -> maybe some credit is due 😊 https://www.producthunt.com/post...
Divyansh Ameta
I remember how I struggled with all these fancy terms when I first started reading about startups. A genuine problem to solve. All the best AJVC team for the launch! :)

Democratizing startup conversations is at the core mission for A Junior VC. Startup Concepts is one of our most loved products to de jargonize and simplify commonly used terms in the startup and entrepreneurship ecosystem. So the next time you are speaking to an investor, thinking about building a product, curious about startups or passionate about investing- https://ajuniorvc.com/startup-co... is your destination!
Maxim Dsouza
Great concept. Simplifying complex concepts makes content more readable and digestable. One question about your artwork. I see that you've used Bitmojis. The usage rights of Bitmojis are pretty confusing. Their policy says that it can be used for personal usage, but not for commercial purposes. Even if your content is free, if you monetize in some way, your website will be considered commercial. I used to use Bitmojis to explain concepts on my blog earlier, but I stopped using them because I didn't know if I was allowed to use them. If you know clear information, please do let me know.
Manshi Sanghai
@maxim_dsouza Hey Maxim, thanks for the feedback :) We do not plan to monetize Startup Concepts. The intention has been purely to simplify complex terms for the masses, as Aviral and Chetan have mentioned.
Raghav Nair
Concepts has gone from stick figures to fully blown out characters and sketches. An amazing journey and a much needed product for all entrepreneurs and startup enthusiasts out there. Amazing job by the team!
Chetan Manda
@raghav_nair Kind words there Raghav, thank you!
