“The best thing to do as a first-time founder is to build the product [before approaching VC to raise money].” - simple, but extremely important advice especially for low capex startups. Nowadays there are tons of tools (prototyping, cloud credits, etc) to cost efficiently build a minimum viable product and test it with real users

[@unlockwithjsr]

VCs aren't for startups in software especially

[@unlockwithjsr]

Nope, building the product(s) should be the last thing, first validate your idea with strong credentials from your potential users.

Terrific interview, what a smart and humble guy. Great quote - ‘Just invest in the S&P 500, don’t do anything fancy’

[@ellajackson34]

Investing in the stock market is the most common way for beginners to gain investment experience.

[@addisonclark5630]

The decision to invest is an acknowledgement that it comes with certain risks. Not all investments will do well and some may lose money. However, without risk, there would be no opportunity to potentially earn the higher returns that can help you grow your wealth.

[@emilydavis8321]

To manage investment risk, consider maintaining a broad diversification of your investments that reflects your personal risk tolerance, time horizon, and the nature of your financial goal.

[@ameliagarcia3485]

Remember, diversification is an approach to help manage investment risk. It does not eliminate the risk of loss if security prices decline. Because investing can be complicated, consider working with a financial professional to help guide you on your wealth-building journey.

"And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. "Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name. "This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666." -Revelation 13

He commented that Warren Buffets “put all your eggs in one basket and watch that basket” as the best piece of investing advice. Two questions .
