Wow these guys have great chemistry. Love it!
Hit the like button to remind me all the time to bootstrap harder
It makes you think about how different companies grow. Seeing so many likes on this video shows lots of people are curious about this stuff! If you found this helpful, you might find some interesting things on my channel, which talks about things like funding, credit, and how people handle their money.
I’ve watched Silicon Valley and sometimes I wonder this channel is the evil lair of the screenwriters.
"They recruit from all over the world, I live in the world" lol dig it
glad to see YC agrees the VC path isn't a fit for most companies, including tech companies + startups
I see YC fans + alumni keep pushing their content though to me and so they seem to indicate most of the advice still works for me…I don't think so. Wish there was a "YC without the VC" or "YC for the rest of us"
Excellent discussion. Thank you Gentlemen 💎
Guys, there are a little bit much unreasonable laugh in this video
Great Information investing in tech.
Only criticism I have of this take is that YC invests in primarily B2B and B2C SAAS companies that require very little capital. you are not investing in nuclear power plants that costs billions to construct. so you are essentially selecting a very narrow band of potential companies that fit the tech startup mold
Microsoft was as good as bootstrapped. They raised a small round just to get Dave Marquardt on the board. However, they never used that money. (Source: Acquired Podcast on Microsoft).
Lmao “they live all around the world, I live in the world” 😂😂
What do you see as the main advantages of bootstrapping a startup compared to seeking venture capital?
Thanks 🙂
hard to watch guys, you keep giggling nonstop, its like you have tourette
Well not sure if all of that is true. Was Epic bootstrapped? Don’t think that could happen today but that’s some of the most successful software companies in America
😊 these guys have too much fun together
Small nitpick on the the fact that all trillion dollar companies are VC funded: Microsoft did receive 1 mio from TVI, their only investor , but never touched a cent of it. Realistically they werent "funded" by anyone, it was just part of the deal to get TVI on board
Loved the Freudian slip at 8:40. Why should I apply for YC, when he meant why should I apply for VC
Guess I won't be making a social network for dogs…
The awkward laughing twin heads are at it again! Thanks!
Thanks for the insight on both sides! Notifications on!
hahahaha
I think Micheal might be on to something when he says social network for dogs
