I have been an entrepreneur from 2012-2017 building two products AddoDoc and Babygogo. After selling my company to SHEROES, I and my partner Nansi decided to start up again. But we felt unequipped in our skillset in 2018 to build a large company. We had known 0-1 journey from our startups but lacked the experience of building 1-10 journeys. Hence was born the Neon Show (Earlier 100x Entrepreneur) to learn from founders and investors, the mindset to scale yourself and your company. This quest still keeps us excited even after 5 years and doing 200+ episodes. We welcome you to our journey to understand what goes behind building a super successful company. Every episode is done with a very selfish motive, that I and Nansi should come out as a better entrepreneur and professional after absorbing the learnings. ## Machine-readable JSON: https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-neon-show-862453 Markdown: https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-neon-show-862453.md ## Episodes - [The #1 Mistake Killing B2B Startups | Arun Penmetsa, Storm Ventures](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-neon-show-862453/the-1-mistake-killing-b2b-startups-arun-penmetsa-storm-ventures) — 2026-07-21T11:30:00+00:00 - [Gaurav Jain on Building $500M Fund, Missing Ramp and Backing Irrational Founders](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-neon-show-862453/gaurav-jain-on-building-500m-fund-missing-ramp-and-backing-irrational-founders) — 2026-07-17T11:30:00+00:00 - [And How Matic Sold 6000 Robots with Zero Marketing | Navneet Dalal & Mehul Nariyawala](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-neon-show-862453/and-how-matic-sold-6000-robots-with-zero-marketing-navneet-dalal-mehul-nariyawala) — 2026-07-14T12:30:00+00:00 - [How to Solve AI's Biggest Problem | Atin Sanyal, Galileo](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-neon-show-862453/how-to-solve-ai-s-biggest-problem-atin-sanyal-galileo) — 2026-07-09T12:30:00+00:00 - [Beating SBI, 1% NPAs & India's Massive Loan Gap I Victor Senpaty Co-Founder Propelld](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-neon-show-862453/beating-sbi-1-npas-india-s-massive-loan-gap-i-victor-senpaty-co-founder-propelld) — 2026-07-07T12:30:00+00:00 - [Lessons From India's First Unicorn Founder on Building Large Businesses | Naveen Tewari](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-neon-show-862453/lessons-from-india-s-first-unicorn-founder-on-building-large-businesses-naveen-tewari) — 2026-07-03T12:30:00+00:00 - [How to Beat a Competitor With 100x Your Funding | Palash Soni, GoldCast Founder](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-neon-show-862453/how-to-beat-a-competitor-with-100x-your-funding-palash-soni-goldcast-founder) — 2026-06-30T11:30:00+00:00 - [How 3 Friends From Coimbatore Ended Up Running American TV | The Untold Amagi Story](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-neon-show-862453/how-3-friends-from-coimbatore-ended-up-running-american-tv-the-untold-amagi-story) — 2026-06-26T11:30:00+00:00 - [How A 23-Year-Old Solo Founder Is Disrupting India's On-Demand Labor Market | Anjali Sardana, Pronto](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-neon-show-862453/how-a-23-year-old-solo-founder-is-disrupting-india-s-on-demand-labor-market-anjali-sardana-pronto) — 2026-06-23T11:30:00+00:00 - [Why Coding is the Fastest Path to AGI | Turing CEO Jonathan Siddharth](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-neon-show-862453/why-coding-is-the-fastest-path-to-agi-turing-ceo-jonathan-siddharth) — 2026-06-18T13:30:00+00:00 - [Questions Every Founder Must Answer Before Taking an Acquisition Offer | Shashank Saxena, VNDLY & Pantomath](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-neon-show-862453/questions-every-founder-must-answer-before-taking-an-acquisition-offer-shashank-saxena-vndly-pantomath) — 2026-06-11T13:30:00+00:00 - [94% CAGR: What the Inference Boom means for your AI costs | Vamshi Ambati](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-neon-show-862453/94-cagr-what-the-inference-boom-means-for-your-ai-costs-vamshi-ambati) — 2026-06-09T13:30:00+00:00 - [This Startup Can End China’s Grip on Global EV Supply Chain | Bhaktha, Chara Tech](https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-neon-show-862453/this-startup-can-end-china-s-grip-on-global-ev-supply-chain-bhaktha-chara-tech) — 2026-06-03T11:30:00+00:00 - [What if AI has Immunity like Humans?
