First slide: be single, have no children, and not in a job you like: that's it, you can start a startup! I personally think every slide presented here is the reason why some people would say VCs hurt your startup instead of help it: everything here is to maximize the probability that the VC does not lose money on your startup, and not to maximize your chance of success.

It s not that VCs won t lose money. Shareholders won't lose money. And both you and VCs are shareholders. Or at least both of you share the risk. So if you win, they win. It s not for their wellness alone, you will win as well.

Great presentation. One big thing is missing, although that is understandable because the experts have yet to crack the code. And that is don't just build a company, but build people too. In line with the comment about the shortcomings of entrepreneurs there is a smart omission. They tend to be sociopaths. In fact, that is what leads to their business success. In other words, they tend to be great at building companies but horrible at building people. So unless you want your startup to be as socially inept and morally bankrupt as much as, well, anything that has come out of silicon valley ever, hire people who will make you humane.

This formula limits the field to young people without families willing to couch surf (fodder for venture capitalists feeding off young flesh), those who have had an exit and can do sweat equity, addicts that will sell the house and risk the kids’ college fund to do one more startup. Good news: this formula stopped being exactly right in 2023/24. There’s still a lot right here. But there is a field of innovators with nuanced insights into real problems from years of experience (at least the subset who stayed hungry, curious and inclined toward changing games rather than just playing the current ones) who have been unleashed…and we don’t need VC money up front.
@jwolpert2 ай бұрын
In the 90s, the “I win button” was A list engineers and money. In the early 2000s, it was a well known VC, then A list designers (and a fancy VC). Now…good team is still important, but the VC is less important and…I think this is right…access to people who can help you break through the noise. That “don’t waste money on PR” slide is still more or less right, but access to people who can help you “break through noise” is more important than access to seed capital. (Maybe) ;)

Basically, you have to either already be wealthy or be able to live on next to nothing. Then you need to find at least one other person like yourself. Then make sure you have no kids, no other responsibilities, and no life. Lol, the VC view on startups is for quick sale of a company or relatively quick jump to the stock market. F-that.

Apparently nobody want to work for statrups and everyone including startup owners and investors know it. So startups evolve to mimic classic investor-free private companies. And they are really good at it. "We have actual sales and organic growth" they said and do fundraising backstage.
