Wow, great video! New sub here, looking forward to learn a lot about startups on this channel.

Very good and informative video. Many could make the list and talk about it - but you also made the analysis and draw out the "lessons learned". Perfect! I´ll go build something now!

Hi sir. I am from India. We are building a AR based short video platform. But I don't know how to on board content creators to my platform. What are the things or strategies should I follow .. And what are the metrics should a short video platform have before raising seed or pre seed fund.. ( sorry if question is too long)

Somehow the founders always make it out okay after a startup with venture invested fails. It's the 90% of bootstrapped startups that have folks end up with debt

So if a founder was open to establish his company anywhere in the world, would you recommend California? How about Austin? I heard the startup scene is staggering over there. Here's an idea for another video, startup scenes or where to establish your startup.

These are jaw-dropping amounts of money. Why did so many supposedly "smart" investors put money into these companies? You published a video of a 5-point approach to evaluating start-up ideas. Apply that to these and you wonder - why? And yet, I'm sure you had to work damn hard to raise for Vivino, while lesser ideas were attracting money. What do you think?

Good day sir, I have been watching almost all your videos on startup.. I just finish my mobile app busy in review on Google play store and App Store… I use No Code platform to build it… Is an audio streaming platform that includes our African language and I wanted to know how do I get investor… the platform is fully integrated with google ads as away to fund itself and as well get direct advertising. I am from Namibia 🇳🇦 and we are busy launching in Ghana 🇬🇭… and grow to other African countries… I wanted to know what will your advice be for my startup… I’m really sacred as there are many startup that fail… We did our test prototype and 70% of the users out of 280 users were positive, our UVP from those similar Audio platform is that we are including African language and users are getting royalties from each listener… I’m new in this business, I will really really appreciate if you can show me way forward and as well introducing me to investors…. I appreciate what your doing… I have been watching all your videos and they really help me to understand things. Looking forward hearing from you.😊 You can as well have a look at our app by visiting www.voicetelly.com

Thanks, great to see that you've built something. I've done a few videos on this, I would take a look at my Ultimate Pitch Deck video and How to find an Angel Investor. Also, you most likely need to find someone locally. When it is this early, the investors are usually local.

Will appreciate and at this moment I’m the only investor…. Mostly people in my country are slow to invest in such project… and I can say I watch everything you have posted on how to make business model, pitch video… you inspired me to move on… and the difficult thing I learn on this journey as started-up from a developing country is to get enough support… as mostly people look at us as if we don’t know what we are doing, how can we pass this stage…?
