Retool CEO David Hsu On The Best Time To Start A Company

Although he was born in Silicon Valley, David Hsu started Retool abroad, after graduating with a philosophy degree from Oxford. His startup, which makes the building blocks for developers to create their own internal software tools, has grown to a valuation of $3.2 billion after signing on a slew of big name customers like Amazon, DoorDash and the NFL.
Hsu sat down with Forbes Reporter Rosemarie Miller to talk about some of the low moments while building Retool, how to learn from rejection and how to know when you shouldn't start a company.

    📌 I wasn't financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income, and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone's that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made.

    I was wondering why so many people are poor, after watching these clips which every day gets just 1000 views or 500. Now it is clear for me.

    @@resa574 I'm saying that these clips are not getting so much attention, cuz it is for people who wants to build themselves! Like those half naked women contents that get so many views unlike this which is so useful for self improvement! My point is that, this is why there are less people successful in the world!
