Gratulation zum Exit! Gönn dir deine wohlverdiente Pause, bin gespannt was als nächstes kommt. Kannst du dir vorstellen, irgendwann in Deutschland zu gründen oder wird es für dich immer USA sein? Btw, stabiler Bizeps 😄 Grüße aus Frankfurt!

Danke dir ☺️ bleibe auf jeden Fall erst einmal in den USA. Da sind die Gyms besser um meinen Bizeps zu erhalten hahhahaha 💪

[@aliwaheed906]

I don't understand how you were able to raise that much money when giants like Thomson Reuters and Lexis Nexis have HUGE products in this domain, so much so that these products are literally mandatory in Law school in some courses. I remember seeing a survey from Stanford that 90% of their students use either Westlaw or Lexis. What an achievement honestly it is like getting funded for a taxi cab service. Bravo!

[@SamuelBoschMIT]

For sure, but these two tech giants are not known to be innovative, nor do they have access to the best engineers so they struggle to keep pace. Thank you 😊

[@carbs9132]

Congrats on the exit! Are you ever planning to share any more details about the exit (maybe in some future videos)? I'm unfamiliar with how these things work with VC funded startups. Like, do you get a lump sum and they buy out the company ownership from you? Is valuation determined from the total funding received? Is your advisory role a paid role? It'd be really cool to hear about these things from someone with firsthand experience. :)

[@sportsinc1693]

This is the question lol

[@SamuelBoschMIT]

Thank you. These are all very good and valid questions that I wish I could answer in more detail. But yes, in general, that's roughly how it works. There is definitely some connections between total funding and valuation. Otherwise, if you took a, let's say, $10M investment at a $10M valuation, you would end up without equity in the company. The goal generally is not to sell away more than 15-25% of your company during each funding round, so your valuation should be at least several times higher than the amount of funding you received. Too much to explain in a single youtube comment :) And yes, I still get paid by the company

[@gaganubiradar1103]

Hey, did the investors force you to quit, or was that your own decision to step down to an advisory role? Please be honest :)

[@HanBrar]

I think this is what happened, but legally probably he cannot say. This is what happens in this world the business people takeover the visionary and innovative people eg. Steve Jobs and now Samuel. But all that aside its a plus point for Samuel because now he can take time off and find out what he wants to do.

[@RockyMountain947]

Mr. Bosch, can I please see the case study about Volkswagen, Rolls Royce, and BMW? I am in Canada, and I'm in my second year of law school. Started doing a corporate law class in September and I feel like knowing how this occurred could help me become a better practitioner in the future.

[@SamuelBoschMIT]

Hmm I don’t have the case study anymore, but there should be lots of records online about this, including news articles (such as the one shown briefly in the video)

[@anakr4667]

Honestly, Emily strikes me as a really fake person. I know she acts all nice, but she seems to be really full of herself. Also, I checked her instagram and she edits her photos to the point where it looks nothing like her. Just compare what her face looks like in unedited old vlog videos vs her Instagram. These are two different people. Obviously, it's her good right to do that. Just shows that she is really fake

[@sobakakustovsky3909]

I’ve also noticed that!

[@quantumgeek7999]

Yeah, 100%. She looks nothing like on her instagram 😂

How does your visa stuff work? Do you have H1B? Asking as another fellow person doing PhD with an opportunity to join a startup.

[@SamuelBoschMIT]

In general, if you're doing a PhD in a STEM field, I think it might be easier to first use your OPT and STEM OPT for a startup. But you should consult an immigration lawyer, as I am not one
