I Didn’t Just Start a Business—Foundigy Was My Response to Being Ignored

 I Didn’t Just Start a Business - Foundigy Was My Response to Being Ignored


Most founders talk about failure. I built from it.

I didn’t become an entrepreneur because I had a pitch deck or a perfect idea. I became one because I was tired of being invisible. Tired of watching platforms reward polish over truth. Tired of chasing listings that never felt built for people like me.

Foundigy wasn’t born in a brainstorm—it was born in a joint family kitchen, shaped by imbalance, rejection, and the kind of clarity you only earn when you’ve been pushed aside.

I didn’t want another directory. I wanted a platform that reflects real founders. The ones who don’t have PR teams, funding rounds, or viral launches—but who have grit, story, and something worth building.

This isn’t just about entrepreneurship. It’s about emotional honesty. About rewriting the rules. About building something that remembers where it came from.
