5 Ways Startups Die: Why Big Company Managers Fail (How to deprogram it)

[@JohnCooganPlus]

There is one positive to corporatism: it leads to lots of people quitting and starting great companies! 🤣 - Awesome video as always. Huge fan of Office Space and Mike Judge!

[@geeked-outbasketball765]

Lol, right?!? That’s exactly what I did! 2.5 years in and loving it. 😁

[@jyoon0128]

Great video. Keep it up!

[@williamjames2026]

I would love to learn the secret behind forex trading

[@clintonjerry7910]

You can learn the secret behind forex trading from Lewis Aron Coach Trading Community

[@williamjames2026]

I will make research about his trading community and reach out to him to learn. i know the forex markets is highly profitable

Thanks Garry, I am one of your very early followers. Every video in this channel is a MASTERCLASS for aspiring entrepreneurs. You are full of knowledge, experience, and expertise when it comes to building and investing in a startup. I wish more founders/investers come forward and share their knowledge the way you are doing.

[@danielidz]

Leadership is more important than management. Great people don't need to be managed, all they need is a clear vision and roadmap then get out of their way.

[@toofy7253]

I love the fundamentals explained in this video. This video goes super well with some recent videos of Justin Khan's channel. Please keep spreading the word on how the real business world works. It's so hard to find content like this. I'm not nearly as knowledgeable as you, but I 've been trying to explain concepts like these to people for a while, but most people just give me a blank stare and look at me like I'm crazy, so I stopped talking about these concepts.

[@NachoGonzalezNappa]

This channel is getting better and better. Thank you, Garry!

[@stevexie8511]

Really happy to see new founder educational content from you Garry! Extremely applicable for me given of my corporate background. Took me 2 years of startup life to get rid of it.

[@MohammedNoorSK]

Garry, you should do a video on how an average 20-30 something with a 9-5 job can make a shift to startups and build their own company.

[@lofimusicisme]

Yeah I think such video will be very helpful. I hit 40 this year and wanted to shift to startup as well but due to family commitment , I’m not sure if it’s a good idea.

[@daveprice3095]

As always - great video. Thanks for all the knowledge. I've been working on a kickstarter project for almost 2 years and launching November 2nd - you've been an enormous amount of help. Thank you!

[@tan6660]

I wish you luck!!

[@daveprice3095]

@@tan6660 thank you so much - it has been the most challenging yet rewarding thing I've ever done. thank you again for your kid words

[@richardgrant8634]

This is my favorite video from gary so far lol I have seen two sides of this issue in start ups Ive worked for. WE NEED DECISIVE SOLUTIONS FAST!

[@AaronErickson]

Great video, resonates strongly. One correction though - Uber had to use their internal thing because when they initially considered Slack, it could legit not handle their scale. Maybe it was a symptom of having too many managers passing around slack equivalent of your red folder, but there were reasons (from what I hear) that went beyond basic NIH issues.

[@FilhoLouco]

I am someone starting out. And listening to you make me inspired.

[@johnsmithgumbula4688]

Gary, words of wisdom, this helps out a lot with my current visionary (IP) iconic initiatives and ventures. Awesome, inspiring vlogs as always Gary, Blessings from Australia 🦘🐨🙏🏽👍🏾

[@qillerr_yt]

Thank you, Garry, as of now, I'm just an intrapreneur, and studying; some day, I'll found something and grow it big and real; your videos are invaluable! Holy fuck, how valuable this video is.

[@rickykynd]

Garry, this had me jumping out of bed. Points 3 and 4 (covering your ass and take credit) I resonate with so deeply because it’s always left me with a bad taste as an employee and as a CEO, but as someone who never learned how to be a managed or a CEO, this was very reassuring. Thank you.

[@xaviere.edwards3519]

Thank you for making these videos! It really helps to get knowledge and advice from as many sources as possible and from experienced people. Right now we are starting as a company and we are taking an important step as we have been accepted to an acceleration programme. I am the CEO and will sacrifice job opportunities that would boost my professional career for this but I have noticed a lot of the issues that you talk about in my co-founders and am figuring out how to deal with them as it is a recurring problem... And they don't seem to be informing themselves and studying how to make the company happen. What could I do?

[@theSummarizer446]

Thanks Gary, you’re the straight talking, Jordan Peterson for start-ups, the business Dad we never had.

[@thugly921]

Don't insult Gary with that comparison

[@bhismaalekstrendo8310]

Thankyou specifically for this video, Gary! Thanks for the hint! 👍🏿

What kills startups is VC's micromanagement.

[@GarryTan]

This is true, I should do a video about this

[@SolonAngelHelps]

@@GarryTan Yes you should, definitely, and thank you in advance.

[@rickhmason]

@@GarryTan I have never read or viewed anyone who really gives advice on picking your venture partner that rang true with me or my friends. Course most startups are exceptionally lucky just to get a single firm willing to fund them :

[@kore4hire]

Thank you Garry. Really appreciate these videos. I lead a team of innovators solving the largest issues facing all of us. Right now we are fixing global food production These large format outdoor commercial systems are going to change the world they're going to completely upend the industry anyways for sure they're orders of magnitude less expensive orders of magnitude more efficient and will lower the operational overhead by orders of magnitude while increasing the yield tenfold just by area all well being zero disturbance on the soil once installed Which will allow for the soil microbiome with a little prep work to see the biodiversity return and the return of the mycelial cultures our current ag practices are destroying which that mycelial Network is the primary source of water abatement and retention in the soil like it's the the whole glue that holds the entire ecosystem together and it's a keystone ecosystem That's why we're seeing the propagation of droughts which is leading to the wildfires going crazy cuz the forests are dry as a dust fart. And it keeps getting worse 100 years ago we had dust bowls and the Great depression and we learned to cycle our crops well we still hadn't fixed the problem we're just spreading out longer. tilling kills a very important ecosystem and our insistence on monoculture has led to the decline of natural predator populations which leading to the extinction of our pollinators because the super mites that are causing colony collapse and the wing deformity would have been eaten by the natural predator population of a healthy biodiverse soil microbiome And no water wastage which is a cool thing you don't get dead spots in the ocean from fertilizer runoff because it's all localized no algae blooms these are all good things We even figured out how to economically incentivize it for every participant every step of the way and the banks are behind it It's a stable loan program we got to go to the table and figure out the LTV based on the square footage of the land that there's equipment will take it up but between the value of the equipment and the land is sitting on and the fact that that's a revenue generating area we should be able to have everything pre-approved based on a lien agreement on for the actual land that we convert over so it's you know economically incentivized for the farmers so it's an old brainer for them no approval process you know just sign and deliver. the banks make off like a bandit they're going to make trillions we cover our manufacturing cost no long-term capital commitments that's the first thing we're going to market with

[@MrMonsterrally]

Love this episode Garry.

[@michaelhale7802]

Hey Garry, do you have any advice for nontechnical founders who want to get skilled up so they can take on more complex problems (ie. space industry, web 3, and biotech)? I'm 25 and have specialized in customer acquisition and growth for the last 6-7 years. I'm also currently (very early on) learning how to code and building projects in my spare time. My goal is to start a MicroSaaS that can cover my tuition + cost of living so I can go back to school for an engineering/science degree. I wanted to know how you would approach this problem?

[@vinykurt2431]

You are a legend Garry!

[@parthosarkar5270]

Great video! BTW which movie are the cutscenes from?

[@dreusu732]

Awesome video as always, thanks!

[@chaoxu9080]

These points are correct, but there's at least one killing problem not covered here: Hired "smart" employees only focus on gaming the system. Oh, I remember there was an official announcement about why Uber had to build Uber chat with a justification that the evaluated that Slack can't handle lots of users in one big organization as Uber.

[@poosy2]

Ya... Everyone want to be the manager and no one are doing the actual works. Only gather the people can do the actual work by themselves.

[@unobas8100]

what do you think to incorporate AI in to Company as Manager ?

[@sguploads9601]

I woudl disagree as a guy who spend 7 years in big corps (PG for example). Imagine you have a huge corp selling 1BN a year, a grow for 1% of these sales is actually create a huge amount of profit - more than many startups do in 5 years. But there are like 10000 guys trying to launch the same big projects - and big companies are trying to build some kind of investment decisions which guy we will give money to get that grow or not. And this is a huge problem - first of all you willwork with tons of data that company has from previous launches (starups don't have it), you grow is small and can be connected to other reasons (for starups the grow is always about just better marketing/sales/product), and finally to push anything thrue big organisations - you change how thousands people work (startups don't have this problem at all). so all of this three elements lead to something wich may look useless and counter productive - but it is for startups. for big organisations - it is totally different - they just cant work as startups - they need to make investment decisions, they need to gather much more data, they need to change a way people work at scale and etc.

Can you help?...I'm a co-founder and need help with a "Hard Tech/Moonshot" problem. Thanks for all the content as well!

[@UEE_ARGHADEEPSAHA]

Garry can you please tell how to value an idea. Actually the point that you said "love with ones idea" I think I'm suffering from that. I currently don't know how to really evaluate my idea. Actually the idea is to apply the biological principals to the cyber world in order to ensure a higher security and to transfer larger amount of data to different device in a lower time and using lower bandwidth.

[@UEE_ARGHADEEPSAHA]

@@thejatomis This would solve the problem of virus, ransom ware and other malicious code from running in your device and will also promote security in the digital space.

[@UEE_ARGHADEEPSAHA]

@@thejatomis I am not here for the money. It way cool to put in use the 4.543 billion years of research to solve a problem that the humanity is facing right now and it seems to intensify over the years as the governments around the world decide to depend on more digital solutions.
