Thanks for sharing this video. In the past I have built a startup but failed, but I appreciate the experience gained because I had the opportunity to meet VC representatives and other startup founders who are currently big startups or companies in my country. I'm still very interested in startups and now I'm also interested to know more about VCs.

[@aminbusiness3139]

How does some young nobody bring “value” to founders This is commonly said advice but I don’t really understand how this is done theory

[@jasonshafer5336]

So basically, if you don't come from privilege, you're screwed.
