which app to build this? thanks.

EO is always bringing crazy great people onto the channel

EO Growing fast!

This is so impressive. Valuable video, thank you EO

EO my morning inspiration.

Never knew about Elad before, but gained lot of knowledge with this interview, thank you EO

Thank you so much for this video(and all the other videos). I was in a tug war in my mind for whether I really need a co-founder or not. The story I've telling myself until now that if I don't have a co-founder than I'm somewhat reducing the possibility of failing by 50% (as PG says 50% of startups failed due to co-founder conflicts) but getting this advice from a man who built and invested in such a variety of high growth and super impactful companies is surely one of the best advice.

this is the problem with vcs.. they give a very narrow advice on entrepreneurship based on their limited sample size. most successful businesses are started by people over 40. those are the actual stats.. and he goes around saying they start young. absolutely false, but this is the type of "luck mistaken for knowledge" which goes around in silicon valley.

Half the companies I've worked for Elad was involved with lol, this guy is everywhere!

Massive value content yet again. Thanks, EO!

Amazing guest and what clarity of thought!

15:05 sometimes people just get lucky. Jason Calacanis came to mind 😅

Bros is walking YC in terms of investments. I think he attends the demo day a lot.

This is the greatest channel I’ve ever came across

I think the same, we should build a company together i guess

Thank you!

Great video

hell of a resume

Really applicable advice from this video. Thanks for sharing.

Investing in 40 $1B+ companies, 30 of them at the Seed or Series A stage, is impressive.

11:54 Incredible segment!

26:45 moores law is just a feedback loop formed by the market growing the better the product becomes and yhe product improving the more people buy it.

came to watch this after losing $100 to a solana meme rug

Starting a company ain’t no joke. If you are young, do it.

Bro loves maximising shareholder value

Life long doing

Still he would get rejected for a junior dev job I found few days ago 😂

Eo where did u come from??? Out here giving out gold for free

so basically he was an early employee at Google and made a lot of money there? and then had enough prominent connections/friends in VC who let him invest along with them in the likes of airbnb, coinbase etc.?

is it me, or does he kinda look like Mike Shinoda from the side 🤔 ??

yes there are similarities

Adding lots of people shouldn't be seen as a success metric in and of itself.

Awesome interview But the color grade is off, the skin tones look like he has jaundice!

Damn, why did he have to go an muck it up by praising wework. I’ll chalk to hedging the future.

Great video
