Real talk. No fluff, no agenda. Very rare. He’s gone beyond the need to sell anything. He can say what he knows. Thanks Elad.

this guy speaks so quick the density of value output is overwelming. I often watch / listen YT vids @ 1.25-1.5 speed. here I had to switch to 0.75 :D

Thank you so much for this video(and all the other videos). I was in a tug war in my mind for whether I really need a co-founder or not. The story I've telling myself until now that if I don't have a co-founder than I'm somewhat reducing the possibility of failing by 50% (as PG says 50% of startups failed due to co-founder conflicts) but getting this advice from a man who built and invested in such a variety of high growth and super impactful companies is surely one of the best advice.

this is the problem with vcs.. they give a very narrow advice on entrepreneurship based on their limited sample size. most successful businesses are started by people over 40. those are the actual stats.. and he goes around saying they start young. absolutely false, but this is the type of "luck mistaken for knowledge" which goes around in silicon valley.
@rezerect7004Ай бұрын
Wrong, he’s talking about unicorns specifically. Yes luck applies to all unicorns but they played their cards right which displays their ability to adapt. But yes, most “successful businesses” are started by old people.

so basically he was an early employee at Google and made a lot of money there? and then had enough prominent connections/friends in VC who let him invest along with them in the likes of airbnb, coinbase etc.?

Less investor suck fest, and more showing the failures. Yes, he's backed "40 unicorns" but it means jack if that's 1% of what he actually invested in, its simply dumb luck with money. Please highlight the other side of the process too.
