Recently I've shared some heartfelt tweet-stories about entrepreneurship. Your support has been so encouraging 🙏🙏🙏

Now I'm doubling down with a personal mailing list: gaganbiyani.com - please help spread the word!

**A thread on what will make this newsletter unique**

1. I'll talk about firsthand experiences.

There are great newsletters that opine about tech, startups, vc. Instead, I'm going to talk about in-the-trenches realities. Real shit that most newsletter writers haven't experienced or aren't willing to share.

2. Global.

Silicon Valley is an extremely insular place. I love it actually, but it isn't for everyone and isn't relatable. I've spent almost 4 years of my life abroad and been to 60 countries.

We're going to get outside the bubble.

3. Action-oriented.

Anyone - investor, founder, employee - will be able to learn from these stories. (I did start an education company 🤓)

In each post, I'll share actionable insights about how you can learn from my mistakes and successes.

4. Honesty.

I'm not gonna bullshit you; startups are messy and hard.

For a taste, read these 3 stories that got 7M+ impressions:
About @udemy's journey:
About failing @Sprig:
How I got fired from @udemy:

5. Wildcard.

We'll play this by ear. Expect me to dive into culture and politics from an entrepreneur's POV. I'll talk about visiting refugee camps in Palestine and indigenous tribes in the Amazon.

Be ready for the unexpected.

🙏 thx 4 your support.
