What New York can do to an entrepreneur

[@nyaromeneko4455]

Worked in NYC from 1986-1988 starting my IT consulting business. Sort of liked it and tend to agree with the statement that NYC is the centre of the universe. Fun as long as you can stay on Manhattan.

That warmth and sincerity you talked in this video was, is and will be a must needed for a lot of entrepreneurs; Thanks a lot for it, I didn't know I needed that message that much. Gracias Caya, te la vacilas un montón! Sigamos Pa' lante! Te mando los mejores deseos para todos tus proyectos 💪🏻

[@gedewahyu.p]

I love this video. I have aspirations to move for some time in the USA but this video just eliminated my doubts. Thanks Caya & the whole Slidebean team for the video.

[@foobar43]

Enormes respetos al ver la dedicación y el sacrificio que has puesto en tus emprendimientos man. Mucha suerte. Gracias por el vídeo.

[@yoverale]

Best content strategy ever! Love ur content, love ur message, also being a latin entrepreneur as a I am I truly resonate with your stories about your life path, it’s so inspiring and instructive at the same time. Gracias de verdad 🙏🏻

[@ShredderZXTF2]

As a business student at NYU Stern, I had no idea you lived here Caya! Hope to see you around!

Hayden Hall FTW. I think I was 1403 or 1413. (Renamed to Lipton recently).

[@ronque23]

Really appreciate you making these videos to keep us motivated. I’m on my most recent entrepreneurial try here in he city and it really helps.

[@0hfoxyroxy]

Great advice! Thanks for keeping it real!

[@stevebarsh7727]

Great video @Caya. Did not know about sleeping in the office. Sorry you had to do that but LOVE IT! A true entrepreneur and doing what it takes!

[@michelkant]

At some point in life you can always become a film/documentary producer/creator. Nice video! 😄

[@Awakenbeing]

I just love the content from your channel.the stories, the editing is all smooth,they are really great.

[@slidebean]

Glad you like them!

I can't believe Slidebean only has 330K+ subscribers as of now. Underrated.

Caya, wonderful video man. If you’re near Williamsburg, come to Class & co and meet a fellow founder for coffee. Much love. Pirro

[@waltersabino9891]

Congratulations, Caya! Awesome video, as always! Thank you!

[@Divineearthangel777]

That was a fun summer, good to see you Caya!

[@harrison6082]

I agree with your facts, I disagree with your interpretation. The accelerators, people, and maybe gov help, are all good pros. But the rest of the things you said are bad. And do the benefits really overcome the cons like high rent? I'm not sure that's always true. Especially with more and more people comfortable being remote. It's sound like starting there helped you, but staying there is not.

[@FasterDrivers]

I lived in my office for a year!

[@Isaac-X113]

Lol can slide bean talk to Luis Rossman just once?

[@DavidDrobik]

Moving to NY in a few weeks. Thanks for this video! Amazing story!

[@slidebean]

Good luck!! New York is a great city

Go Caya! Proud of you.

Thank you for sharing your story and experience.

2021 might be the top year for Startups since as the Nasdaq stock market goes so does funding for tech startups

Great intro!!

[@CX3Productions]

Heck of a Journey!

[@sunilbastola]

Great Video Caya ! NYC is great for startups, but I have been hearing about too much high taxes on both corporate level and personal level on New York. Can you help explaining how taxes differ between various states in the US (e. g. NY and Texas) for a startup ?

[@nayemalaboni8318]

That’s a great question

[@brandonemmanuel5032]

Great video Caya! In contrast. What do you think about location-agnostic startups? You know, operators moving from city to city, team all over the world, etc.

[@cayahere]

Wooah! That’s a question. I’m cooking up a video on it 😬

[@brandonemmanuel5032]

@@cayahere great, cool! Slidebean notifications on! 🍿

[@m.guedes]

Touching video.

[@TiberiuMusat]

Great video!

[@Miqi95]

I'm a founder in Virginia and I've been taking a harder look at taking a trip to NYC in recent months. This video may have finally convinced me to go through with it!

[@cayahere]

Yeeesss! Let me know when you’re in town 🍻

[@NickelCityPixels]

As a tenant accepted to every incubator I'd applied to in NY and having been involved at a prototypical Start-Up NY program, I can tell you that everything upstate is absolute BS. Can't speak for NYC but I'm sure it's the same. "To combat this, Cuomo touted his Start-up NY program as a “game-changing” panacea to “supercharge” the economy. But after creating just 408 jobs in its first two years, the press now calls it “pathetic.” As a state audit proved, the most egregious part of StartUp NY wasn’t even its failure. Rather, it was the governor’s $200 million outlay of public money on ads touting the program’s, and his own, success." Of course, the ads coincided with his re-election campaign. He was investigated, but like everything else Cuomo related, I don't think anything came of it.

[@ikaustralia]

Harder to find a hairdresser in NY than Costa Rica =) Same thing every Western city.

[@mirkahromi]

simply inspiring.

[@mikeanderton3410]

"Center of the universe" LOL LOL LOL

[@redingtonramos8791]

5:20 this is literally my life rn😪😔

[@jason9875]

Louis Rossmann would dislike this video 😂

[@cayahere]

Why tho?

[@jason9875]

@@cayahere For startups, NYC is the place to be. [TLDR; he dislikes NYC not your vid lol] Rossmann runs a computer repair shop, a more “traditional” type of business. On his KZbin Channel he has documented his bureaucratic and dysfunctional experiences with the NYC departments and local real estate. One (of many) examples is his video “NYC DOESN’T KNOW ITS OWN LAWS!” Where he calls the City Dept. of Consumer Affairs for a clarification on a law, and the city cannot answer him. (3:10) He has since moved to New Hampshire and is looking for ways to move his business. KZbin: Louis Rossman. Awesome video btw

[@jr1095b]

Inspiring! But why did you leave ny for the bay area?

[@cayahere]

We didn’t. We spent a few months in Mountain View as part of 500 Startups, but came back to New York/Costa Rica after.

[@lawyermahaprasad]

I am in line

[@KeepinKozy]

Terrible for cryoto startups-the bitlicense all but precludes it from making sense to come here

[@neanda]

1:26 "the center of the universe is here". Really? Now I definately don't want to go there, and I'm sure Carl Sagan would've had something to say about that

[@thomas-sinkala]

I hate New York because I was depressed for no reason while I lived there.

[@Leopoldcold]

As a European I can only get 3 months of staying in USA anyways.

[@me.atul10]

If the word that you use to describe New York is “alive” then you really need to get out into a forest and get the TRUE meaning of that word.
