Startup Daddy is our brand new guest column written by tech entrepreneur and new father, Varun Bhanot.
Introducing Startup Daddy, the brand new guest column from Startups.co.uk. Written by Varun Bhanot, Startups 100 winner, founder of MAGIC AI and first-time father, the column covers the highs, lows, and sheer unpredictability of juggling two very different duties.
Every other Wednesday, we’ll publish real, unfiltered reflections and real-life learnings from Varun. Part journal, part business diary, it will explore the honest reality of building a startup — and a family — at the same time.
>> Get started with Startup Daddy Issue #1: Should you call your startup your family?
Who is Startup Daddy, Varun Bhanot?
Varun Bhanot is a UK-based tech founder and CEO of the fast-growth AI startup, MAGIC AI. He’s led multiple ventures, raised millions in investment, and (most excitingly) recently welcomed a new daughter.
After becoming a father, Varun found himself questioning much of what startup culture takes for granted and Like, can you be a CEO who leaves at 6pm to do bathtime?
Startup Daddy is where those questions get explored. Forget the clichés. These are stories about balancing newborns with product launches, letting go of team members who once felt like family, and rethinking what “success” means for both founders and parents.
You can learn more about Varun and his work by visiting his LinkedIn, or the MAGIC AI Mirror website.
