Dawson's journey is truly inspiring for budding entrepreneurs. For those looking to emulate his success, remember that Y-Combinator often looks for founders who show exceptional grit and a clear vision for solving a specific problem. Additionally, networking with alumni can provide invaluable insights and potentially open doors for your startup.
He knows he can control his narrative after he sees success is lurking. It will be a nice and compelling story to tell. A Yale Alumnus reaping success is a boring story; while a university dropout on that scale of success has its gravity.
notice how its always a dropout from an ivy league or elite school? nobody would have cared if the title was a dropout from an unknown state school. Just the tag alone is gonna help him immensely for his startup,VCs absolutely love folk like this too.
Those advising in comment "go to school" are still bottled with the traditional mentality of life. Even if this lad fails with his first one or two startups. His experiences will sell 10x in financial returns if he is to get into any of these big techs. You decide to stay in a lecture, he decides to get his hands dirty with actual world stuff. Wish him luck instead !
YC taught us "it is ok to be lost and not have plans but just launch things and get feedback from customers" that is bravery tbh in context to life which taught otherwise as it is better to be risk-free and plan it all first ... One day definately gonna get into YC, currently i am just a final year undergrad student
Dont quit school pls. There are exceptions but if you notice most of these guys got their co-founders from school. Thats a good reason to attend school, the people you meet
Embracing the startup life often requires stepping out of conventional paths and embracing the risk of innovation, demonstrating the courage and commitment needed to transform a vision into reality. 🚀
he's self-taught, universities are just a type of training that sells us a diploma, he already has the knowledge and wants to create a product, the people in the comments are basing themselves only on that, and anyway even if we were to consider him on the job market he could work more at googel or open for example than people with diplomas because he has the skills it's the skills that count full of entrepreneur we start like that my boy continue.
I almost dropped out of my undergrad in my final year to work on a stupid startup with no revenue, foresight for revenue or mentors. Luckily, I didn't. It saved my ass and I did 10x better later just because of school. Don't leave when you're crystal clear about 1,2,3 years of outcome and be okay with the worst case situations
Since there are already loads of Siris and Alexas out there, I was curious about what makes your product stand out. What's your product's special niche?
@@SDAPOKWd I don’t blame you. Most people said Internet has no future. Look where it is today. You’re just one of those many who are pessimistic about future
Yet another thing. I saw all these founders living frugally and I became comfortable doing that. Suddenly, when I'm in late 20s, responsibility hit me hard. Startup isn't successful and I'm left with nothing but d*** in my hand
I mean, the guy got accepted into Y-combinator, not aure why people in the comments still advise to go to college and PAY hundreds of thousands when you can get into Y-combinator and GET PAID hundreds of thousands...
You don't get PAID hundreds of thousands. That is company money. You would be the most FOOLISH person in the world to take it as your salary when you have no product and no revenue.
Please go back to school, you will regret it your father's provided all for you to get there, and you just dropped? That a huge mistake, only drop out when you make first million but i see you are not there, i understand you want to be in the entrepreneur software community, but you are jumping too early
This is so inspiring , especially for startup founders. Im watching from Kenya
Hi man. Kenyan here too! Are you working on any startup?
Same here 😂
Same; what are you working on?
Im working on a communications app/website. Hb yall?
He seems exceptionally smart and well-spoken. I think his product has a lot of really cool features that could help people save a lot of time!
He needs more innovation.He should have studied in college and develop that in lab
Savaged! @@Brodragon2225

and there is many apps like this already
That's because no one gives a f^©k about the "unknown"😂. The world cares about the known.
@@malcomgreen4747all the other app don’t have vc support
The fact that he go admitted at Yale means something 😊

hi dawson

The founder
I think it can be customised
Simply there is not. This startup will fail 100%. I invite to bet anyone who wants to
@@SDAPOKWd I don’t blame you. Most people said Internet has no future. Look where it is today. You’re just one of those many who are pessimistic about future
I think your a Bad Ass man. 👍
Love your story.

With both parents having worked in software he has experience by proxy. Seems like a bright future is ahead.
Great!
He had to change his startup model.Thinking about jarvis is good.But please think about business
gotta share this
no way you're here 😭😭
This is what happens when you watch so many motivational videos 😂😂

yea but you dont go to college to be good at doing startups. you go to be appealing as an employee to other established companies.
parents networth 10s of millions, so will u work or start a startup?????? easy asian maths

Bro, I was gonna agree with you. Then he said he was from Mountain View and I knew he was gonna be alright. He will make just from being there.
@@Arbiteroflifehis dad is rich.It does not matter.But in today's market I would only suggest to dropout if you are from a bad college
