Not sure if you guys gives a shit but if you guys are bored like me atm then you can watch pretty much all of the new series on Instaflixxer. Been streaming with my brother these days =)

[@jaredrobert9709]

@Avery Marcus definitely, I have been watching on instaflixxer for since december myself :D

It feels weird how we are all here before he reaches 100k subs

@@JustinKanTV What you are doing is awesome, cutting through all the bullshit whilst being inspiring and funny. Much love from South Africa.

[@how-to2346]

When I saw my first video by Justin, how he told the story of selling twitch for 1 Bn, I stopped the video midway and subscribed, I knew this was going to be interesting! Sadly couldn't buy the Nft's coz of rules around crypto's in my country.

[@nathanstark4504]

Happy to be a certified OG, here since he was just at 5k

[@Yunora]

I just love Justin's voice.

[@tayyirawashahtrawasiay5837]

[@epicddgt]

I really love all his histories and input

[@CKYew]

@@JustinKanTV Thanks Justin, they’re amazing! Please keep telling more stories! 👍

[@ramel-qy4rc]

Jesus loves you so much that He died for you:) He wants a relationship with you and wants you to come closer to Him, please repent from your sins and come to Christ

@@JustinKanTV i would love to read your autobiography one day.

[@benwoodward5273]

Love the detail about bringing your Mum to an investor meeting 😂, so good.

[@jillianlee950]

We submitted our startup for YC S2021!! Hoping to hear something soon! 🤞love hearing the early-days stories. So fun!

The reasons I love your videos are. You are telling reallife stories with a great narrative. And seeing similar problems on the way of my entrepreneurial journey is so great. Hope one day I can tell my story to you🙏

[@RajatSingh-dg8ov]

Justin, you are the reason why I might fall back in love with CS AGAIN!. Keep making these vids. Thanks and much love!

[@bullionmaster]

Thanks for sharing justin. Stories like these give interesting, valuable insight into the founder's unique journey from the inside which most do not get to see..

[@MrYuKonize]

Nobody ever told these stories with details as you do. Thank you Justin for the lessons and inspiration!

[@myiOSCareer]

So glad I found you through Joma. Your content is incredibly interesting.

[@2nerC9]

Your stories are so interesting but your voice could make want to listen to anything anyways. The combination is just the best.

[@marcopoblete5167]

This channel is 10/10. Currently going through Techstars and the recognition factor is high!

[@aavurit]

Your videos truly are a hidden gem that I’m glad I found early on... thank you for sharing your experience and removing some fog for entrepreneurs to-be

[@SavouryLobster]

Hi, I just want to say that the platform you created has provided me with endless amounts of entertainment. This might sound weird but from the bottom of my heart, thank you. I'm not a streamer but I have discovered so many people with the same interests as me, something I didn't think was very possible at the time. Have a good one.

[@lewis211]

Love these start up stories sheds a new light to everything instead of the usual I started this company now I'm a multi-millionaire, you can do it too.

[@godwinhschan]

Now these are the startup stories I love to hear!

[@0xandrei]

I thought the AirBnb cereal box story was insane but bringing your mom to an investor meeting its a whole different dimension. Justin is larger then LIFE :)

[@sauravp6116]

You should turn this into a series. Your stories are awesome!

[@prepaidtrash5552]

Pretty sure that’s what a KZbin channel is…

[@paulie4450]

Your stories are fuel for solo devs like me. So much to learn, especially the "putting yourself out there" part but these give me reality checks and drive. Cheers!

[@dad4378]

how do you start paulie, tell me :( i just started Java Script and i,m a complete noob to this. its been a month but im understanding concepts pretty well. any tips ? :) and also what language u think i should learn next. rn im doing a JS course on udemy. Do you think this a right move my friend?

[@clintonharold8375]

Hello Pauli , I’m interested in knowing if you are good with react and flutter. We can work on a project together

I love this! Thanks Mr Kan for helping teach youngsters like us.

Your ability to remain humble is amazing! I always agreed that money doesn’t make the man! Keep it up 😊

[@Dario-dq4gp]

Bro you are such a gem.Your experience is just priceless. You are seriously being slept on.It’s a dream to have a friend like you. Best of luck to your channel bro,it will blow up wildly soon,mark my words.

Yea I dunno how he's still at 66k the youtube algorithm is doing him dirty smh

[@jean-francoisnobert6906]

Truly great talent for story telling

[@KevinStoriesTV]

Me too Justin, I barely knew how to program, but I'm working and practicing on it now. I hope I can launch my own startup soon 🌟

[@voiceofugur6115]

I love the Silicon Valley Edits, thanks for putting this

[@rtanaka]

Love this. Thanks for sharing your story Justin

[@behsadriemer6129]

A captivating story and then what we can learn - talk about bringing value! So thankful to be learning from you.

[@wanged1794]

I respect Justin Kan, here from Taiwan

[@mokah5619]

I have been bingeing your channel like crazy and it is really helping me think about my post-grad options. Please keep it coming, you’re a legend. I actually used to love watching some of my favorite content creators when I was a little kid back on Justin.Tv!

[@TinaDerby01]

OMG, Justin, you are hilarious, and FULL of amazing info and stories! I just can't get enough of your amazing videos!

[@rocknroll7967]

This guy is everything I wish to be.

[@neonraytracer8846]

You're so energizing! I quit playing games and started my projects again, thank you so much for the content, you're making me hopeful once again, and have me wanting to finish what I started. The podcast is truly great, but watching you talk is something different, I'm so glad I found you! I even stopped drinking coffee and ingesting as much sugar as I was used to, and it really spiked my productivity. Thank you so much

[@zaynadam7789]

I love that you just get straight to the point and cut out the fluff

[@moncef2466]

Dude, you're awesome. I love how simple you are, and your stories are amazing. keep them coming.

[@unclerandy398]

I have a sudden urge to start a startup

[@jamesron5625]

With that profile, I'm concerned.

[@sujantkumarkrishnvanshi121]

*Isn't this GOLD?* Like literally, these learnings for free? Love you Justin sir from India & I hope to meet you someday, coming to US.😎

[@habibmkhan]

Your no BS advice is legendary

[@georgetudor1451]

PG is a real deal :D Every time I feel down and not willing to continue working on my project, your videos inspire me to keep going. Most of the time at 4 AM but I presume health can still wait for a little while :))) P.S: You guys should take advantage of the fact that Kan doesn't have so many subscribers yet, he can still reply to your comments...... Which makes me wonder if I should be working on my pitch.... I can imagine that and 2 sentences later boooom +30k subscribers..... Pitch ready, boom, 1 million subscribers and no way he can actually see it :)))))

[@flamingjob2]

Best stories of silicon valley sir. Thank you so much justin!

[@jorgezamudio8457]

This is GOLD. Just make me thing that EVERYONE can do it its only matter of persistance and initiative

[@RunReplay]

although i didnt know who you were before watching, i subscribed after first video - amazing storytelling

[@olivierporte]

Any other YC alums on here who enjoy watching Justin’s videos? I went through YC’s S18 batch and I absolutely love watching these videos! It would be great to hear more stories about the first ever batch of YC in Cambridge, MA, how YC has evolved over time, and perhaps some stories from Justin’s stint as a YC partner.

[@awa8766]

Long shot, but would you be willing to critique our startup that we’re working on? It’s medtech related and we started it December 28th. Open to the harshest of criticism.

[@superbassbros9315]

Yes! Love your videos they are such an inspiration!

[@kaveee971]

hey Justin, thanks for sharing your experiences. One request: KZbin is overloaded with 'success' stories.. so I would appreciate if you also make videos on your biggest (or smallest) failures.
