startups, they are all built by 1 person.

4. THE SECRET WEAPON TO THE RAMPANT PROBLEM OF USELESS STARTUPS
THIS IS A VENTURE MADE BY SOMEONE
WHO KNOWS HOW TO BUILD AWARD-WINNING PRODUCTS
▸ I am not an analyst. I know exactly what is happening on the
granular level, while being aware of the big picture.
▸ When I give a talk, it’s usually live demos, no slides.
▸ I walk into big hackathons 2 am, get riled up by an idea and it’s a
working prototype by 7 am - at 1 pm, it wins prize(s).
▸ Problem: Most AR Studios do not produce because they are run
and built by people with little domain experience.
▸ Solution: Just build it right - with intuition. And, with skill and
10,000+ hour experience, effortlessly keep it technically cool. :)
5. Build apps that you’ll use yourself everyday. Or, build
for those dear to you. Build for real people. Turn mere
technology into things that can make people happier.
Invest your time to create solutions for needs you know.
But, always be a magician, never be mundane.
