ABOUT JOHN COOGAN:
I am the co-founder of soylent.com and lucy.co, both of which were funded by Y Combinator (Summer 2012 and Winter 2018).
I've been an entrepreneur for the last decade across multiple companies. I've done a lot of work in Silicon Valley, so that's mostly what I talk about. I've raised over 10 rounds of venture capital totaling over $100m in funding.
I work mostly in tech-enabled consumer packaged goods, meaning I use software to make the best products possible and then deliver them to the widest possible audience. I'm a big fan of machine learning, python programming, and motion graphics.

Love using Slack, but had no idea about its backstory. This is another awesome episode, thanks!
Golden triad of tech companies: 1) technological feasibility 2) social use case 3) scalable business model
Recently discovered this channel and I absolutely love it. Videos get right to the point and are very informative and bingable. Keep up the grind my dude
Slack is an amazing story about persistence.
Dope video as always John!

What is that slight grid you put on the video clips? Is that to throw off the AI IP detector or something? Stylistic choice?
Interesting topic here. The story behind slack was not one that I was imagining. Good soup
Love the content John!! From 🇬🇧
Damn what an amazing video covering this company. Instant sub.
This guy deserves more subscribers
great content as always John, and your unique style really delivers the stories well.

John, you're the best; thank you for this awesome insight!!!
Extremely informative naturally💯💯. For a video idea could you possibly look up what happened to Viber, the app similar to watsapp, if people even remember that app😆
Slack, the story of connections and persistence

Really enjoy the stories you are creating behind the brands. You have me interested in the movie clips. Do you list the clips anywhere?

This was an insane video, I was surprised to know how much slack was worth (Since I've no reason to use it). Also, I saw the discord video plug coming, that was genius lol.

Felt like I watched a biography of Stewart Butterfield.
Holy crap it’s Tuesday! Yes!
That girl in the b-roll at 3:04 about to roll one up. Ahaha not entirely PG. I wonder if anyone else noticed.
Slack was created with me in mind!
Hello John the videos you make are very good but can you help me from where you get the movie clips for your videos as I am also a content creator... It will be a great help.. Please 🙏
Entrepreneurship is in my blood I have tremendous interest of becoming like one of these
Still have my slack socks from IDO day :(
Can you make a video about Pavel Durov and telegram?
How many companies you've invested? Justa general question
Good video.
Discord is cooler version of slack
Do you plan to start a podcast before or after you hit a million?

Great content 👍🏾

Always interesting content. Slava Ukraine 🇺🇦
Teams sucks, Slack is great, sadly I have to use Teams at work.
15:28. Hey John, you mention Slack faced the problem of convincing early users to switch from Hipchat to Slack, then you jump to the 8,000 subscribed companies for the beta. But you don't really explain *how* Slack actually convinced people?

Do you realize, you can pass as Christian Bale as Batman, with a mask on?
Slackk!!
Documentary was awesome and full of informations... but have to say those cheesy movie cuts in-between ruins the video... some of them are completely irrelevant clips.
