To Founders & Startups,
In a month of Unicorns, I want to say:
1. Your startup's success is defined by you, NOT by random benchmarks set by media.
2. You've REAL challenges to tackle - DON'T get distracted by the noise of Unicorns.

When we were growing up, society decided what success meant for us.
For e.g. in an Indian society:
- Get an engineering degree from an IIT
- Work at a reputed company
- Get an MBA from an IIM
We strived to achieve that without truly understanding WHY?

Don't bring such pressures to your startup too!
1. If you don't get VC funding or don't want it - no WORRIES!
2. If you don't want to run the unicorn race - that's FINE!
3. If your startup makes just enough money to enable a lifestyle you want - that's GREAT!

OVERALL:
You've nothing to prove to anyone but yourself.
Your decision to startup already makes you special. DO NOT let the echo chamber of tech media pressurise you and/or make you think otherwise!
