building @polycule_bot | National Merit Semi-Finalist
Joined November 2021
Friends and VCs have been DMing me about what I’ve been building for the past few months. I’ve poured my blood and sweat into a project that will democratize on chain finance. I call it Polycule. The era of the cabal is over. Trade prediction markets on telegram.

Being an Indian in America in 2025 is like being a Jew in Germany in 1935.
Costco experience today. 8 year old daughter wanted to try a sample and two Indian women took 7 each and emptied the tray. God forgive me but I hate them so much.

I’ve noticed a common pattern among Stanford dropouts like me. 20 - Drop out of Stanford to do YC.22 - Series A for 100 million.24 - Forbes 30u30.25 - Marry asian girlfriend.28 - Ketamine overdose. Why is this so common?.

So many “cracked founders” are just managing 3 Indians overseas. So many founders in SF tweet all day but are really just running a sweat shop of brown people. I am their Harriet Truman. Free my people.

Being Indian in America is like being a slave in the 18th century but instead of picking cotton you have to write JavaScript.

Most talented people are good at everything. The kid who sold his app for millions is also jacked. The valedictorian is also top chair violin. The youth pastor is also incredibly sexually active. Few understand this.

Being brown is a crime. Your credentials get questioned merely for being Indian. I came to the US when I was 2 and have since achieved things most white ppl could dream of (YC, national merit semi-finalist). Sriram's only crime is his head shape.

Not all of us come from wealth. As a kid I watched my family struggle to make 6 figures each. In Plano all my friend’s parents were doctors — mine were just engineers. You have to be born starving to grow into your true potential.

People hate on YC because they can't get in. Accepting only 1% of founders means 99% of people are losers. Losers then proceed to seethe about yc/sam/garry on anon accounts. Have fun being poor Srikanth @iamgingertrash.

If a Mexican who can’t speak English…. Or an Indian who writes shitty Java…. Or an Asian who can barely drive…. can steal your job, the issue isn’t with the immigrant or the entrepreneur who hired them, it’s your lazy ass.

I’m launching a new accelerator through YC. PrisonCombinator. We’re renting a decommissioned prison in NorCal and taking the best 100 teams to live in it for 6 months. Terms are YC standard deal are only be allowed to spend it on commissary (DoorDash, Zyn, AWS). Dm for invite.

First Indians won in medicine. Then hospitality (patels). Then we conquered Google, Microsoft, Adobe and Starbucks. Finally, the White House. Who do you think really controls JD Vance? His wife is pulling the strings. Like Chess. Checkmate. Oh wait, we won that too. Stay mad.

Most people approach university wrong. - Don’t build meaningful relationships.- Professors don’t know them.- Didn’t acquire self-knowledge.- No major work experience to build credibility.- Didn’t create a cabal of people who stand by you. Instead they optimize GPA like a nerd.

The use of the word "jeet" by white people is concerning. As a kid it was slang for homie. In Plano kids call each other "jeet" when playing basketball or during friendly urban banter. But when a non-Desi uses it? It hurts like a knife. If I hear a white boy say it ima flip.

Life hack: if you were an Indian in 2024 pivot to being “racially ambiguous” in 2025. Tell people you’re half white (technically true). Get a perm and some blue contacts. Thank me later.

Paul Graham says that YC has a feminine energy. Yet 95% of the founders of the batch are male. What he’s trying to say is most of you are betas. And there can only be one alpha (the unicorn).
Now that I think about it, YC definitely has a "feminine energy," but I think in YC's case it's a good kind. It's an incubator after all. It ought to be nurturing. And the fact that it is is largely due to Jessica's influence.

All the racist white people are complaining on twitter because they just got mogged by an Indian that immigrated here at a disadvantage. If you are getting replaced, it’s because you are incapable of keeping up.

For some reason people think Indians do worse on dating apps. Not true imo. I start every match with “send bobs” and get a 90% match rate. Might be because I’m 6 1 and a millionaire.

Lions don't care about the opinions of sheep. YC Founders don't care about the opinions of anons. Valedictorians don't care about the opinions of losers who watch cartoons all day. It's that simple.
Indians seem to have a terrible & irreversible PR damage globally. We occupy spaces heftily, often inconsiderate of others. We pollute, lack civic sense, treat our women like filth, boast about the country but leave as soon as we get the opportunity, money-minded, white.

If you don’t have a startup idea just go to github trending and browse through some repos for a few days. You’re bound to find something that interests you. There is so much untapped value in random repos that no one takes advantage of.

Silicon Valley already has a caste system. Brahmins: YC Founders.Kshatriyas: FAANG Employees.Baniyas: Crypto Startups.Shudras: Data Labelers working at Scale AI.Dalits: Seed Stage VCs. Hope this helps.
I don’t know which Indian in Silicon Valley needs to hear this, but we don’t have a caste system here in America.

The biggest separator between winners and losers is time. When you're waiting for code to run or for a model to train you need to be doing something other than scroll X. Do pushups, review the code, review a research paper. ANYTHING BUT WAIT.

Winning is when 50% of people love you and 50% of people hate you. Mediocrity is when people are totally apathetic. Understand this and it’ll be become apparent why you are a loser.

English is not my native language. In my previous post I called people who didn't get into YC "losers" but I really just meant rejects. You are not a loser for being brave enough to build. All love to everyone in the tech ecosystem. I will have a formal apology soon.

Everyone hasn't updated their mental software. Elon, Trump and Chapelle prove that you can speak your mind and not be cancelled. If you remove the cowardice from your brain you can speak the truth AND be wealthy. Don't and be afraid and poor.

I literally just had a friend pivot from being pre-med to now going all in on ML research/startups and he's moving to SF this summer. His reasoning: "AI is moving too fast for me to not be part of this revolution". The hype is real.

I wonder why so many college kids first instinct is to build consumer/ed-tech instead of gambling tech, which is what my friends spend the majority of their money on. People are fine losing 100 bucks on a parlay but not for paying for a $5/month tool - the LTV is much higher.

Reminder that instead of scrolling Twitter you could be using ChatGPT to:.- Learn any programming language.- Discover the history of your homeland.- Brainstorm new business ideas. - Teach yourself optimal diet and exercise. Instead you spend all day consuming slop. Sad.

I grew up in the trenches. My parents would leave me at Kumon to study and wouldn’t pick me up until 7 pm. I learned to code at a boot camp before LLMs — I wrote everything by hand. And I grinded more practice SAT tests then are legally available. No wonder I always win.

SF has me living in a bubble. The only time I talk to a regular American is when I’m in an Uber. The only time I talk to an illegal immigrant is when I order DoorDash. Everyone else is Jewish, Indian or Asian. Why?.

I know a lot of YC founders that have side hustles just to get some extra runway. Some play poker or sports betting, others sell plasma. Some even get drops from food banks to eek a few months out of their preseed. It’s a dog eat dog world out there.

Everyone please donate. Children shouldn’t have to face brain cancer. I wish I had eth to donate but unfortunately I’m a Solana maximalist.
if you could press a button that cures your child’s brain tumor in exchange for ending your life immediately, every parent would hesitate for zero seconds before fighting to be the first to press it. the cruelest thing is that no such button exists. but there is always a move 👇

Just came back from meeting with investors. All were wealthy but from different methods:. All the 7 figure ones made their money doing tech, saas, finance or services. But all the 9 figure entrepreneurs made their money buying meme coins on pumpfun. Lesson there. Investing >.

Bootstrapping is a much better strategy as a younger founder. You don’t lock yourself into commitments with investors, immediate liquidity (can pay yourself everything), and if shit fails nothing happens and you can just go back to schoo.
