      Slidebean: Startups 101
      Hi Slidebean, I created a global site for WeWork members globally to feedback at wefeedback.co
      It might be useful for us to feature your contents on the site. Is that okay?

    i also am startup founder, i can feel pain/hard work we need to put in, sometimes it's way too much, sadly i am way remote to meet those founders and have experience with them but it's great to see videos dedicated to this.

    2:51 Twice the team does not = twice the productivity. Tell me about it. After we raised our Series A, we doubled our team from 20 to 45 and it was a nightmare for that first year. We scaled far too fast, had to scale back, and reign things in. Turns out you can't just throw bodies at a problem and hope it goes away!

    When I started watching companies failed videos, I thought that you're a video editor guy hired by this company Slidebean to promote their product. Later on, finding out that it's your way to create a marketing channel for your own child product. Amazing! I can totally relate to that. With the dream of having a company one day, it's inspiring to watch your talks. Spoiler from the future. Thanks for taking the time to record them 🙌

    I love your contents and I absolutely admire your time management skill ( cause mine is a mess ). One of the things I'm incredibly envious of is your team chemistry. Doing anything team related is very hard unless you have those mind reading people who can understand you before you even begin to explain yourself and take initiative to do those things as if it were their own. It's good to see that someone has that.
    P.S.. Me and my start-up community here are waiting patiently for slidebean to expand your business to our country ( Ethiopia ). Also it will be great if you make a video of how to be a motivational CEO who can communicate with teams effectively ( especially remote ones ).

    Building something from scratch gives u liverage, control sometimes matters. U have to know what to build from scratch. U don't want surprises mid flight.

    I love how you're honest and open about the difficulties startups face, this way people are prepared for the sacrifice and aren't thinking it's all rainbows like in those insta posts
