Honeypot's idea is a common idea we hear across candidates but only few decide to execute it and only few investors are convinced to fund it, big props to everyone who contributed in building Honeypot.

23:30 "VCs don't like profitability". Is it really better to run your company for growth instead of profits? WeWork (among others) showed us it's not always the case...Also, this is not the only VC thesis around. A new breed of VCs (the Calm Capitalists as someone named them), has emerged (Earnest, Calm Fund just to name a few), who give bootstrappers an alternative way: not risking survival for growth. As a founder, shooting to the moon (and give away equity, round after round because you have to grow) is not always the only option, you might end up building a solid, profitable, long-lasting business 🙃 Great content Honeypot btw, thanks.

Fully agree with you. There are many ways to build great companies. With regard to my statement about profitability, I would argue that this is the case for 99% of VCs. Venture capital money is a tool that allows you to grow big faster. Not more, not less.

@@clauderitter3803 Thanks for replying. I'm with you. There's no right or wrong path. One has just to know that there are multiple ways...and even by bootstrapping and focussing on profits before growth, you can build multibillion dollar companies without giving away (too much) equity (think Zapier or Mailchimp).

Reading a reply comment of an interviewer just after watching the video is reachability at its finest, for me just mind blowing. Great time to be alive :).

Oh another cool masterpiece! Honeypot is back.

Thank you for this

Christmas came early!

29:40 Amen to that...

I can't out if this is great or terrible. I've been working as a developer or in product for 10 years in startups. All of these people are obviously successful but my response veers within the same minute between 'thats really insightful and explains so much about my experience from the other side' to 'i can believe these people can say these idiot hyperbolic clichés with a straight face'. Still, well done honeypot :)

This channel is underrated

simons hand gestures 👌 🚀
