Exclusive videos every week about tech, behind the scenes of how I make videos and building stuff on the internet
All we hear about today is big tech companies worth trillions of dollars that make big moves and change the world, so much so that many people that is what tech is. But there's a whole other side of tech companies that most people don't even know about, with unique stories that break the mold of the traditional Silicon Valley model, and they are changing the way new tech companies are built. From Midjourney's and David Holz's crazy wild ride, to the new wave of indie hackers
🖖 Hey! I'm Enrico and on this channel I go behind the scenes of the design, psychology and stories behind tech and making stuff on the internet. I'm a tech Product Manager, builder of digital stuff, KZbin aficionado (and overall meme connoisseur). I am also a rare Italian who doesn’t know how to cook.

not particularly, a startup isn't a conventional corner shop. a startup is by definition a kind of business that can scale exponentially without having to invest in prerequisites for this growth. e.g: a restaurant will have to double everything, space, staff, material, etc to be able to accommodate 2x customers. tech-based startups can handle 1 million times users at a fraction of the cost.

Blitz-scaling is only a functional business model in a lax regulatory environment since its business model requires reaching a point where it can leverage its monopoly status once it dominates the sector. The increased scrutiny on tech mergers over the last couple years have made the business model infeasible like it was prior to the deregulation boom of the last few decades.

There’s nothing weird in not being a startup but successfull at the same time. A lot of companies are doing right that. What you didn’t mention in your - really interesting - video is what a startup is: A company founded with the purpose of growing fast using other peoples’ money, being public listed and then sold. On the other hand, there are bootstrapped companies (that’s what you call “anti-startup”). Companies where the founders take their own money, grow slowly and that’s it. For an less obvious example in tech see Aha!

It has a lot to do with the fact that modern web development is much easier in general, at least if you're an experienced developer. There are abstractions for almost everything these days that just 10 years ago you would have had to code yourself. Also there is much more accessible data everywhere, often through api's, that simply didn't exist in the past. I'm currently building an innovative meta search engine completely on my own (no AI) and I had this idea forever, but the tech simply wasn't available. Now that the tech is available I can finally build it, without needing years and huge investments. I simply need a few months to launch the mvp. For example the last missing piece of tech that I needed, was fast accessible data of a specific branch and there was an API launched a few months back which gives me this data, exactly as I need it.

Nnnnope. Investors got rich because they made a lot of money. You can make money by creating problems too. But they did it by having a lot to invest in the first place (from rich daddy, most of the time). Amazon makes money by increasing the number of people peeing in bottles and dieing of exhaustion. Bezos' parents gave him money to start it. Tesla makes money of selling "carbon credits" to other car manufacturers, which is essentially a "pollution pass" which allows Musk to advertise Solarcity to wash his image. Elon's father gave him money to start (his first revolutionary product was - yellow pages, but online. No one uses it, but it made him a fortune). Microsoft earned it's money by monopolising the early OS scene, which allows them to still control it with very inferior products. Bill Gates also stole the idea from HP. Etc etc. The people who are solving problems (and working honestly) aren't rich - they are doctors, scientists, handymen, plumbers, cleaners, people in the service sector, etc. They solve problems, but they don't get rich. Because actual work cannot make you rich.

I know a lot of other people building similar business, but I have my own customers and a lot are based on referrals. I started with auto respond email service. Now I've upgraded to using gradio app to let people use it. Very rudimentary setup. Even payment is collected manually. Not scalable at all. I'm intimidated by the complexity of building a proper webapp, especially the UI. Don't know where to start. Maybe learning react, nodejs might help. But I still need to balance with my day job.

Randomly stumbled across this video. I think i understood what was said, but it just doesn't resonate with me in the slightest. I'm excruciatingly bad at business because i just, for the life of me, can't understand who the fuck would pay and use an "AI Assistant for writing stuff, lists etc" or generic image generator, or "AI Interior house design" and all these things. I cannot comprehend paying for these things, and if i understand it correctly, it's a "service" == subscription == recurring payment. All of these are things for the western world, where they have money to throw on garbage and do on a daily basis without a second thought, where people budget 50% of their revenue on services. Born and lived in the old block for my entire life, my mindset is far too rigid for thinking of these things and people in these parts would laugh in your face if you ask them to pay for these.

"make your own chatgpt frontend, call it ai service and make five figures a month" seems marketable enough

The terrible trend of venture capital has been driven by the insane growth of wealth inequality. There are a ton of people who have way too much money, and that money is trying to find returns, which leads to big bets/risk. When people have limited resources, they limit risk and bootstrap. In other words, talent and hard work build companies. With VC, capital is trying to build companies.

Thsi what makes me scared of the economy. The fact most peoples jobs are useless, and that the actual amount of people you need to keep sites running, is minimal. Twitter firing 70% of its bloatforce and running like a regular startup again, is what cemented it for most people.

twitter is running like shit, partially because they fired a lot of "bloatforce". Just because a job isn't necessary for the success of society doesn't mean it's unnecessary for the success of a company

Great video! I think the jury is still out on Midjourney. I've been cracking my skull trying figure out how to turn the skills I've developed with Gen AI graphics into something profitable. I think Midjourney faces the same challenge.

Making a Discord bot requires almost the same work and requires pretty much the same money than making a web page, so I don't see its use. RN I'm assessing that same choice but I don't find any real reason to force people to install an app they won't for anything else while I have to run a web service with the bot if I can simply run the same web service with a simple html page. And btw, that "indie hacking" thing is just plain false. No one cares about simple, small projects with no marketing or strong paid advertising. I know it well. Unless you spend big bucks on well positioned ads, you get no users. And a product with no users is just a hackish tool for personal use that gives no money (specially when you rely on donations 😞).

Tech VCs look for explosive growth because they know at least 9/10 of their investments will fail and be a total loss. If they had 9 losses, and one "winner" with only slow, modest growth, then the VC would go bankrupt. It's not because VCs are crazy or maniacally greedy. It's just a novel, and relatively new investment strategy that dramatically increases the overall amount of "breakthrough" companies and ideas to emerge, where they wouldn't under more traditional investment strategies.
