Hi, I am your host Siddhartha! 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 S... more

  • Serious probability flaw in Dilsher’s 29 June episode

    To be considered towards a game of skill on the skill-luck spectrum, Dilsher says that the probability of someone winning 90% of games is very less. Hence, it is a game of skill!

    Well, there isn’t just one user of the app. Given, n users (let’s say 1 lakh), you need to multiple the user level probability with entire sample to get the number of users.

    Even if all 1 lakh users were just betting on 10 coin tosses (ie 10 games), 1% will win 90% of the games. (10/1024)

    That is 1000 users.
