#27: From 12 Failed Ideas & $0.50 in the Bank to Raising $3.2M w/ Arnav Bathla, Founder & CEO at Coinbooks
Description
What would you do if you dropped out of college, pursued 12 different ideas but none of them worked, and only had $0.50 cents in your bank account at one point?
Would you give up or persevere?
Today’s guest, Arnav Bathla, decided to keep charging forward because he believes he was born to be an entrepreneur and he couldn’t possibly see any other option.
Arnav is originally from India and after dropping out of college and booking a one-way ticket to San Francisco over 2 years ago, he played around with different ideas and almost none of them solved a ‘pressing’ problem.
He went from one idea to the next until, at some point in his journey, he had less than a dollar in his bank account. But still, he never gave up.
Now Arnav is the founder & CEO at Coinbooks, a Web3 startup building an accounting software designed for crypto-native organizations. Arnav has raised $3.2 million from world-class investors like Multicoin Capital, and even Polygon’s MATIC very own founders. Coinbooks was also accepted into Y Combinator for the summer 2022 batch.
