Great presentation!

51 likes versus no thumbs down... as tempted as I was to "not follow the crowd" this was just to good! Thanks.

great! Thanks for sharing

Ideas are cheap - everyone knows that.

Thanks! Truely helpful!

Thanks Brett! Always great content. I must say though, these days, pitches are getting better and better :) and the best is, they are authentic.

This is something you have to be aware of 100%

I have a start up idea but thats the only rhing i have. I dont code and i dont even know how to get experts to develop the project. Pls I need assistance in any form that can help realize my goal of launching a start up.

Great lessons learned. Many brands make ALL of these mistakes. Glad I found this video. Great work !

cofounders get equity they are just like a founder

Now I have a good understanding of how to start my pitch deck. Thank you so much!!!

My investor bribed banking supervision officials to try and quash our fintech license and give a license to his clone of our service that was making compliance filings with our regulatory documentation. Plan backfired by still killed a company that had already broken even. Madness.

If you have co-founders you think can steal from you, they should not be your co-founders.

Thank you very much! But why do you need co-founders at all?

Thanks for sharing. Best of luck . I owe you a beer

Two events led younger founders to believe "you own what you execute" 1) Zuckerberg's loss in court to the Winklevoss brothers for stealing the idea for Facebook 2) Jack Dorsey's loss in court to Prof. Robert E. Morley Jr. for stealing the idea/technology for Square Inc. I've had co-founders lean on those two guys having huge success after they stole ideas to behave unethically. Those wer bad role models for young founders. Once it becomes known you're not trustworthy, a lot of people will not have anything to do with you, no matter how promising it looks.

After 10 minutes, I just realized that you're referring to intellectual property not ip address lol

Brett, excellent video. I actually thought Non-Compete Agreement were never allowed in California and that was why so many companies in CA could steal employees...but what do I know. On January 1, 2024, California introduced a new statute that makes non-competes unlawful “regardless of where and when the contract was signed.”

This helped alot

Wolves at each other throats.

You are such a blessing! Thank you for sharing your gems of wisdom!

i need a pitch deck generated by AI, any suggestions?

What about finding the correct co-founder first?

I was not expecting this story to go that way. When I "hear stealing an idea", I immediately think loser. Ideas are a dime a dozen. Execution is everything.

Thank you!!

Brett where can I get a template for the PIIA and NDA? I also fear these issues as I start my startup now.

Mehn this is really hard. Nothing as bad as bad marriage partner and bad business partner. Thanks a lot I am now a regular viewer of your channel.

This is now my favourite channel thank you

9:19 "...they wont change what they're doing, trust me..." YT didnt use to have games. They have games now in response to what? Faceboot adds something to their side menu every 6 months... I love it when they say "trust me on this".

What am I suppose to do to protect myself if I'm not allowed to task for an nda ?? My idea has gotten stolen before

Am in Zambia 🇿🇲,I have a Fintech start-up idea and am here to learn on investor terminology before I present this project to investors I haven't yet found

Thank you so much for this

What if your market strategy changes on the path to achieving your vision? Say you start with B2C (direct to patients), then B2B (selling to hospitals), then B2B (data services to pharma)?

Brett, You are offering a great service. As a tech startup naturally we are focused on and understand our technology but to enter the world of fundraising is like entering a foreign country with its own language and geography. Thank you for helping us navigate this new environment.

@brettfox I requested the free template. I never received it.

Thank you

I'm getting exposed to this information multiple times: in your book, in your blog, in your Zero To Pitch group... Every time I hear this story, a new "light bulb" in my head illuminates another possible improvement of a pitch deck that I'm working on. Thanks!

Brief, clear, inspiring. What a splendid lecture!

Why do investors hate conservative projections?
