Attention over time

7-day rolling share of analyzed posts/comments mentioning this entity · 90 daily points ending 2026-08-06

Final complete day: 2026-08-06. Attention was 0.9% — this entity appeared in 15 of 1,744 analyzed posts/comments in the seven days ending that day (18 mentions).

Each point is a seven-day rolling window of complete UTC days; a point is comparable only when at least 100 analyzed posts or comments fall inside it. A day with no analyzed records counts as zero; missing coverage is marked and never shown as zero. The series ends at the latest complete analyzed day — it never extends into the current incomplete day. How attention is measured.

   90% was always a silly number. But the numbers of new companies closing is public. Google it. US and UK for example: "According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), roughly **20.4%** of new businesses fail within their first year. This failure rate increases to about **49.4%** by year five and reaches **65.3%** by year ten." "According to official data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), approximately **6.6%** of new UK businesses fail within their first year. However, the long-term survival rate declines steeply, with roughly **61.6%** failing by year five." So what I have always heard working with startups in the innovation funding space was "more or less 60%" which seems to track over 5-10 years.

   Whoa, slow down a little. It’s great that you’ve built a working prototype, but incorporation, fundraising, and finding a co-founder aren’t necessarily the next problems to solve. Your immediate priority is validating that the problem is real, urgent, and important enough for someone to buy a solution. Start thinking problem-first rather than product-first. Identify two profiles: the person experiencing the problem and the person with the authority and budget to buy the solution. For your product, there may also be a security or compliance stakeholder who can block the purchase even if they aren’t the user or buyer. Define the roles you want to speak to, along with your initial company profile: size, industry, technical maturity, existing use of AI agents, and location. Keep the target narrow at first. You’re trying to find the group with the strongest need, not prove that the product works for every industry. Then start speaking to those people. LinkedIn connections and short, personalised messages have worked well for me. These shouldn’t be sales calls. Ask how they currently manage agent permissions, what risks or operational problems they’re encountering, what they’ve already tried, and who owns the decision internally. If you repeatedly hear the same painful problem, offer a small number of time-limited design partnerships or pilots. Work closely with them, define what success looks like before starting, and measure whether the product creates enough value for them to keep using and eventually pay for it. A free pilot without a clear outcome can easily turn into unpaid custom development. I wouldn’t choose India versus the US based on Reddit advice alone. Incorporate when you need an entity to sign contracts, accept payments, hire people, protect liability, or raise money. Speak to professionals familiar with both Indian and US structures before deciding, because restructuring later can be expensive. The same applies to investors and co-founders. Don’t raise simply because that feels like the next startup milestone. Raise when capital will accelerate something you’ve already started proving. And don’t add a co-founder just because you’re still learning sales, those skills can be learned. Bring one in only if you find someone you trust deeply who fills a critical long-term gap and is equally committed to the problem. For now: validate the problem, identify the buyer, secure a few focused pilots, and prove repeatable usage. Once you have that evidence, the decisions about incorporation, fundraising, and hiring will become much clearer. Good luck.

   Thanks for the insight. I've heared a lot about incorporating in Delaware though not sure what that means financially and I presume you need a lawyer over in the US.

   I’ve incorporated in the US, it can become a nightmare to manage. If you can hold off, do hold off.

   If privacy is what you're most concerned with, I'd just do it now since it can be harder to put the cat back in the bag so to speak if you do it afterwards. It's also one less headache you'll have to deal with later since it would be _slightly_ more complex to do it later than now. But, it might be worth speaking to or finding a subreddit more familiar with tax & legal in India than here where we're more familiar with US tax/legal.
