You can be a VC (I’m hiring): How venture works & what it takes to fund billion dollar startups

I am a single mom with a (little vision/product in making) of what i feel could be an amazing fun solution for all the moms outside. This is my first time ever leave a comment in youtube because your video inspired me and open my mind to an other positive, elevative perspective. After all, to be able to have the courage to walk against all odds, to go for something we believe in, and to be able to be empathised by the right VC (aka: beautiful human minds) is truly necessary and inspiring for small entrepreneurs to insist to dream big. Thank You for that.

[@AntonioLopez-ds5so]

Garry Tan represents, in my opinion, the hope for a better world through kindness and solidarity. In a world where everybody tells you to be selfish and put yourself first, so you can achieve higher goals, comes Garry to prove that wrong, to prove that being helpful and creating ways for other people, will lead you to any goal you want to get. Thanks Garry. I am applying for the principal role, by they way.

Gary Vee preaches kindness and empathy. Mark Cuban lists kindness as one of the traits of the most successful people he knows. We still have people from the Donald Trump school of business who still end up leading though.

[@LiveLearnDream]

Ok, now I'm just binging your videos after finding your channel. 😂At the 8 minute mark, that's exactly the kind of investor relationship I am looking for. Someone who appreciates and respects the craft and giving permission to allow for modern solutions for modern times. My 55 year vision is pretty crazy, and some milestones haven't been done before in the way how I envision it, but I know that I need to persevere because my mission and its impact is what keeps me up at night, not about the money. Abundance will come. At 13mins, "it's my direct intention to build a venture firm that wins without playing games" -- thank you so much for saying that stance. That means so much to me that modern investors like you exist in this world. I wish the hiring opportunity came around a few years ago, I would have applied immediately! I'm on the other end of the stick, and I am working to become that next unicorn to get funded by the right investors. 🦄

Really admire Gary’s simple but potent sentiment to leading people-first capital deployment. “And if I had to point to why Initialized will win, it’s this: Being fair, direct and honest. Above all, we don’t compromise when it comes to how to treat people, each other, and the founders we work with.” Humility is an important part of being human amongst people, and although it may not be measured by definitive metrics, it renders ultimately the greatest return in the fullness of time. Quote me.

[@StormriderVarskil1]

12:29: Garry Tan: "What do you believe, that nobody else believes? That's how you see value where the vast majority of others - the paint by numbers people, the get rich quick people, the scammers, the do nothings - those people don't. This is how we win." ... (followed by sudden KZbin ad from a forex trader, lol). (but seriously, great video, Garry).
