A Ananya SharmaFounder, LearnSphere
When Ananya Sharma started LearnSphere, there was no playbook. There were long nights, sceptical customers and a bank account that never seemed to grow fast enough.
The beginning
The first version of the product was built in a few weeks, sold to friends and family, and improved every single week based on feedback.
The breakthrough
Everything changed when the team focused on one customer segment and doubled down on what they loved.
"Talk to customers every day. The answers are always with them." — Ananya Sharma
Advice for founders
- Solve a painful problem for a specific customer.
- Keep burn low until you find repeatable growth.
- Build a community around your brand.
