Quick Guide On Why Every Founder Needs a Public Point of View
To attract trust, attention, and the right opportunities.
Great products aren't enough anymore.
You can build something truly valuable… But if you don’t speak up about what you believe and why it matters most people won’t even notice.
In today’s market, beliefs beat features. People want to know: What do you stand for? Not just what do you sell?
1. Learn from founders who don’t hold back.
Take Ashneer Grover, for example. You may not agree with everything he says but you definitely notice when he says it.
Why? Because he speaks with unfiltered clarity and unapologetic conviction.
His social media posts are priced between 2 lakh to 5 lakh for reels, 90k to 3 lakh for stories, 1 lakh to 3 lakh for static posts, and 90k to 4 lakh for carousels
He’s bold enough to:
- Question Startup vanity metrics
- Call out VC herd mentality
- Challenge the glorification of burn rate over business sense
You don’t have to like him. But you will pay attention. And that’s the point.
– Clarity attracts > Conviction builds curiosity > Curiosity builds trust > Trust builds business
Be someone people can agree or disagree with Not someone they scroll past.
2. Your Point of View Is the Shortcut to Trust
You don’t need to be loud. You just need to be clear. “We’re not for everyone but if this clicks with you, we’re your people.”
Pretty simple, right? and yet it’s incredibly powerful when done correctly.
Think of Apple, Patagonia, Basecamp ,they aren’t just brands, they're belief systems aren't they?

3. When Your Beliefs Are Clear, Opportunities Find You.
When you take a stand, people notice. Your POV won’t just attract customers it pulls in:
- Investors
- Collaborators
- Talent
- Media
The internet is full of NOISE… One honest belief post can cut through it all.
P.S. - 71% of investors have backed new founders with the share of repeat founders lower than 30% in their portfolio.
4. Your real edge isn’t the product, it's how you think.
It’s your perspective.
Someone can:
- Copy your features
- Out-price you
- Clone your tech stack
But your story, your voice, the way you see the world? That’s irreplaceable.
Even the best AI can’t replicate your lived experience. Isn’t it? It can generate words but it can’t generate the real you.
5. If you’re struggling to define your POV, ask yourself this:
- What frustrates you about your industry?
- What do you believe that most people don’t say out loud?
- What kind of future are you building and why?
Write it down.
Say it out loud.
Then start posting.
Not to chase virality but to gain clarity, spark connection, and build real traction over time.
Final Thoughts
Your story is more than background its your unfair advantage. It shapes your point of view, your values and the way you solve problems. It builds trust, creates connection, and positions you as more than just a founder. It makes you memorable. If you’re a founder reading this, let this be your push- Your voice is your edge. Your perspective is your brand. Start sharing it with the world.

4moLoved this one. Founders without a public POV risk building in silence while others shape the narrative.
