Startup Gambling: Economics of Venture Capital - Company Forensics

[@melanineyedoc]

Production quality is improving day by day. This is brilliant.

[@slidebean]

We keep trying to get better and better

[@joseph7858]

@@slidebean good to have you back, dear Caya. Without you doing the explaining/moderation it had lost a lot to me…

[@GodotOfficial]

I learned two things from this video: 1. How angel investing and venture capital works 2. Garry Tan is sensitive af

[@ad905]

and now I am watching the video about Boosted! Nice move Garry

[@animekollectivedesignco]

LOL

[@makakasha]

Lol

[@pyrhockz]

Streisand effect much.

[@david82leo]

The brilliance of Caya 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@makakasha]

I just love how he teardown companies history & News, so informative

[@princevimbai1]

I love how Garry Tan said "delete the "Boosted" video and I will consider it" and their response was to link the said video in the description. LOL

[@coolthought8456]

It takes time, effort and money to create these content. Telling someone to delete such video without saying why…. It just baffles everyone

[@msibilkoloft8673]

I'm following you from the beginning days of your YT channel and it helped me growing my startup that was funded by DesignFarmBerlin in Germany. Your videos are massively improved. I love the new style. And I always share your channel with the new people get accepted in this accelerator. Keep up 👏👍❤️

[@rne1223]

I'm going to need to watch this video five more times at 50% speed.

[@joeljededemekong5628]

What happened to Garry and boosted?......y combinator was only mentioned once so whats the issue?

[@cayahere]

I’ve been asking myself the same thing.

[@frepn]

Man, right now I am studying for an MBA and as soon I am approved, I'd love to apply for a summer position! Hope you guys like brazilian spirit

[@AR-qo4zz]

Garry comes across as a cool VC that's not beyond reproach or anything of that sorts. Hopefully he's just pulling your leg on Twitter and you guys can come together for a video as I thoroughly enjoy both your contents

[@morningmachine]

All the sweat and hard work you have put in to reach this stage. Good work, man! Keep it up.

[@slidebean]

Thanks! Will do!

[@snakesncl_8146]

The tweet exchange doesn't look very good for Gary, it's like "maybe you are worthy of my time if you don't mentioned one of my failures" Pretty sure he does really well, so why? Feels quite snobbish :(

[@abyssuserigo]

Wandering the same exact thing.

[@tabeebyeamin9986]

was it not a joke? lol

[@maggiejetson7904]

Most likely a joke and he didn't say it.

[@nileshudipi1691]

It's a joke. Get a sense of humor

[@coolthought8456]

It will be much nicer to look at this from perspectives of several VCs and angel investors. Understanding their motivation, demand and how they improve their odds. Maybe can try with VCs who are much less well known or whoever VC who is kind enough to provide their perspective.

[@prhasn]

00:42 This is unreasonable given that Boosted video was very objective. Then again, it might be that he just does not want to upset some people.

[@donaldmacisaac8479]

He was kidding, it was a joke

[@CS-pi4gn]

I think if you are going to talk about Andreessen's fund performance you should explain to the viewers the J curve; IRR will be negative a few years after the funds inception and you wouldn't expect it to beat the S&P500 IRR until about 10-15 years after the fund was first founded (as this is when all companies would have IPO'd, failed or been sold on)

[@marlainee]

Garry Tan's presence would've also been much valued. Informative video, as always! Thank you, Caya!

[@AlanMynah]

Never knew anything of Boosted before that tweet in your vid. Now I do.

[@md.abdullaalwailykhanchowd3974]

For me "Tech startup” means “Technical service Startups”.

[@cayahere]

Wow! That's new to me.

[@jensenraylight8011]

so, selling your secondhand item on ebay, or making a facebook profile isn't considered a tech startup?

[@william_8844]

8:30 come to think of it...... Is it illegal to invest in random cos if you are not accredited angel, or if you earn less that the required

[@nnennaumelloh8834]

I love your videos so much! Your video quality has always been good. It's exciting to see you guys get better and better. I know you said the media company is not a priority but if it became more relevant...I'd ship it.

[@juliansage2]

Always getting better!

[@makakasha]

I just love your content, I was encouraged to progress my startup because of your content ❤️

[@cayahere]

Amazing! keep us posted about it!

[@ferddoesweirdthingsinlife1040]

What is this Garry Tan and Boosted thing?

[@eric-id6bk]

I imagine he lost a lot of money on it

[@canadianentrepreneur7867]

Caya I love your videos. I watch Gary's too. We are all a small family we should get along well. In Americas I've learned a saying: it is easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

[@soleypas]

Wow, the video quality is of the chart! Well done!

[@amithodhana1]

Great work Caya n team...To the point and crystal clear ..

[@alexandertsigaridas5411]

Thanks a lot for another useful video. I was surprised when you said that if an angelgroup charges the entrepreneur for pitching, we should run the other way. We have done it (unsuccesfully) last year in the UK and every angels group that I have came across, also charge both the entrepreneur as well as the investors.

[@naveedanjum9183]

Please share your thoughts on Accelerators vs Venture Studios and their business model. Also for what do you think makes more sense for young entrepreneurs?

[@hardikvaidya]

Fantastic video! Well done. This was crisp and clear.

[@slidebean]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@shirleycher4706]

Thank you for the video! Would you kindly make a video from the start-up perspective?

[@lucamuller1672]

Angel group vehicles are also very useful for saving on taxes :)

[@Ratnas.academy]

Your vedios really inspire me I have a social media start up idea it going to be massive game changer in India. I am seriously looking for investors

[@deborahcharych4490]

Well now, this was quite insightful and thoughtful. Other than Pitchbook, (crazy expensive) is there a good way for life science founders to get info on potential investors eg who are the LPs, do they require priced round? Average percent of company required for say, an A round syndicate? In my prior startup we provided 70% of the company for a $45M A round. Note biotech😊.In my second go, would like to be smarter. Where can we find stats on pre money?

[@mr_c.i.c]

The effort put into making of this video is very noticeable. Keep it up

[@slidebean]

Took some time but we are happy with how we came out. Glad you noticed it!

[@mr_c.i.c]

@@slidebean yes nowadays you're taking longer to upload but the quality has also gotten better. You're welcome.

[@b00032400]

Great content, as usual. Love you, Slidebean.

[@wanjohi]

Oh you gotta be kidding me! I clicked thinking I might have missed this video. Little did I know I know I've already watched it. I am not gonna lie, slodebean you had me in the first half. xD Great video though.

[@laurentmisso6732]

Nice! I'm looking for seed funding for my startup, just hit 10k revenue per month!

[@karanchudasama2422]

Very clear way to make things look like simple 🙏❤️

[@JuanMartinez-ye8ug]

Wow, my favorite video so far. Could you make one from the point of a founder? How much do you get to keep?

[@rbrown31j19z]

Great video. As a budding business enthusiast this was very educational. Some of this information will be useful in the future. Cheers.

[@neanda]

very good information, I hadn't really looked at it from their perspective

[@OgolordIntl]

Great content as usual👍❤ Give us the boosted video link.

[@wazab.]

Very insightful. Thanks for a killer presentation

[@darwin8653]

Great vid, watch it at 1.25 playback speed 👍

Slidebean: Join us for a video, it'll be fun Gary: the glare at 10:23

[@cayahere]

Word.

[@keeganslattery]

Killer video, man! One of the best VC overviews I've seen. Are there any great calculators/models out there to help compare angel vs. VC investment scenarios?

[@PolinomPolynets]

I think Telegram was funded innerly by it's CEO right? No investors involved... Am I wrong?

[@benjaminronns]

Yeah. Pavel Durov the funded Telegram with his own money. He sold a social media company called VK and made a tonne of money. He used that to fund Telegram

[@ajthevillageidiot]

Really sad to know that Garry asked you to delete that video :(.

[@cayahere]

🤷🏽‍♂️

[@adityaxxanand]

@@cayahere don't bend your knee. I just lost all respect for him.

[@j.r.4718]

I lost for respect for Garry after he deleted a comment of his after I commented (Product Hunt) asking him to talk to the founders of a startup that breached a vesting contract cheating me out of my vested shares after my one year cliff. He has no integrity, he also knew that I was the first developer hire. Didn’t bother to personally write me or anything.

[@j.r.4718]

But if I sue he’ll have to :), he and the startup he’s invested in are lucky I’m broke now after resigning.

[@maxgriffin9403]

Another incredible Slidebean production 👏🏽🚀

Thanks guys for this lovely insight.

[@heyerikan]

how is it not a high bar to be an accredited investor in the US?

[@TheKirti149]

You missed one thing about being an angel/accredited investor. You could also take and pass an exam like series 7/series 65 to be an accredited investor.

[@Lightningkuriboh]

Shhhh that’s new and a secret

[@danielabetts]

Absolutely fantastic video. Thank you.

[@slidebean]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bjvu9460]

he was working at YC so, isnt that YC returns and not his? I find it hard that investing 300000 will return a billion due to dilution or am i missing something... that means that YC should have returns of over a trillion

[@billaak417]

How about Fast Food Start Up? Is it feasible?

[@whocares8025]

Hey Caya! We're wondering... is it possible to speak a little bit slower in your videos? You see... we're non-native English speakers here in Russia cannot understand sometimes what you're talking about... Especially, when it comes to numbers... If it is not acceptable, would you mind making the pauses between sentences a little bit longer? Much obliged!! Sincerely, Your fans from Russia working on a transformative market opportunity (that life-changing win).

If my timeline works, I will ask caya to become my investor in 2023.

If my timeline works, I’ll qualify as an accredited investor by 2023 😇

Hello sir A great admirer of your work... I watched each and every video of yours.. A great work... I had a question in mind and it would benefit me a lot if you replied back... Do you have any framework on how to do extensive research on any topic? Or could you tell me how to do extensive research... The key factors or points to look for while doing extensive research.. Thank you An enthusiastic person to learn😅😅

Why did he want boosted video down tho..

13:30, are you trying to give me nightmares? Because I think you succeeded

[@slidebean]

Don't worry - we are all having nightmares with you 👻

[@william_8844]

Deep down I want to start a vc

[@Norentis]

Weird question. If I would start a company to do only 1 job for 1 time and would get paid $10 mio. and there is NO shot to ever make money again with this company, a Stock offering or Convertible debt scenario would not work I would guess. What would one want to try to raise capital for that startup? Are there even any investors out there that would entertain such a thing? Even if the return is huge for them? Let's say $750,000 investment and a $10,000,000 return, with the off chance of the company not being able to deliver on deadline and make nothing? I ran into this a few times now from people that asked me and I am at a loss on what to say, so I keep telling them no one would invest.

[@ChigozieMImachukwuOfficial]

Nice clickbait bro. 2 out of 3 people I love to watch.

[@ashtonal]

Interesting picture of traditional VC. However, we do believe it’s on the verge to be outpaced by DeFi and tokenization if only the money printing wasn’t bbrrrrrrrrrring in the US and Europe. Just a matter of time; asymptotic moves are gonna happen sOOn. Stay tuned ;-)
