228: Do you need work experience BEFORE starting up? | Revant Bhate, Mosaic Wellness | UnStarted Ep 1

Unstarted is a new Z47 series, by founders, for founders.

Most people think they need more experience before they start.

More operating. More pattern recognition. More certainty.

If you’re waiting to feel “ready,” this episode will force you to rethink that.

In Episode 1 of Unstarted, legendary investor Avnish Bajaj sits down with Revant Bhate (Founder & CEO, Mosaic Wellness — Man Matters, Be Bodywise, Little Joys) to unpack the real shift. What actually changes when you stop backing founders… and become one?

This is a founder mindset autopsy.

Inside this UnStarted episode:

1. The difference between scepticism (as an investor) and conviction (as a founder)
2. How much experience is actually “enough” before you start
3.  Profitability vs scale: when the trade-off is real, and when it’s lazy thinking
4.  Why founder–market fit may matter more than the idea
5. Building in an AI-first world when speed is default
6. The quiet mental tax of being the one responsible

Unstarted is built for 1 to 1 founders — people thinking about starting, or just getting started.

Real questions. Real answers. Real founders.
