- Rules for running a startup team Hiring the best talent is only half of it. Keeping them aligned takes clear expectations and open communication. Here is what I've found actually works.
- Preparing to start up is easy. Starting up is not. Preparation for the startup is easy; you control how hard you work. Starting up is a very different beast. What actually got hard: hiring, culture, visibility, and the internal struggle of no longer building.
About
My name is Prakash Kumar. I’m currently building Clipwise.ai.
I’m a tech entrepreneur with a deep love for coding and building products from first principles. Previously, I co-founded Rheo TV and Relevel.
At Rheo TV, we built cutting-edge distributed live-streaming systems. We raised funding from top investors including Sequoia’s Surge and Lightspeed Ventures, and the company was eventually acquired by Unacademy.
Post-acquisition, I co-founded Relevel with Unacademy, where I built the product and tech organization from the ground up. Over time, we grew the team to 40+ people and scaled the business to $10M in ARR before my departure.
I write these blogs as my public notes: insights, learnings, and reflections, including the mistakes I’ve made along the way.
