Thanks for sharing, this is an incredibly valuable video. Love that line "Be so good they can't ignore you" followed by "Be VERY precise". That is solid gold.

8:48 Bootstrap as long as you possibly can 10:27 Raising venture is the easiest thing a startup founder is ever going to do, as compared to recruiting engineers (particularly engineer #20). Almost everything you'll ever do will be harder than raising venture capital.

12:49 Seed round: product risk , founding team risk 12:57 Series A: product risk, recruiting risk, customer risk

Why so few people watch these videos? They're so useful and interesting.

[@LazizbekYusupov92]

That is why so little people are rich! Most people get caught for funny videos.

One comment besides what I intend to type here? Wow where is everyone who need this insight? 🐒

[@zofe]

It is all services and big-brother utilities, not a single example of a productive industry.

Nice of this moderator to dress up for the occasion.

[@uchargeitalia6612]

That's the CEO of OpenAi and he can dress whatever he wants

Vc talks alot about trust but would you tell your kid to trust a Stranger

There used to be an expression “egghead” indicating someone of unusual intellect. Marc, has an egg head and a big brain.

Marc thinks too fast. Need 0.75x

[@Eline_Meijer]

take everything they say with a grain of salt because looking at their portfolios, they are all talking bullshit

[@vapeurdepisse]

You have to be: sub-30 yo, graduated from a top-tier american university/having worked for big tech, be in the valley and be known in the elitist VC circles (including YC). Sad but true

[@jashuabat1785]

@Arnold Black Change your mindset!!! that's not the mindset of an aspiring entrepreneur.

[@BabaG]

wrong, build product/service generate revenue, and let risk averse VC's come sniffing & wanting to invest. Everything else is just BS, it is the product & revenue that matters.

[@JK360noscope]

I mean it's like the Jews or any other community. Only help who you know. San Fran is a bit more open to randoms moving there and starting new lucrative opportunities
