Just wanted you to know. You are one of the founders I follow closely, and totally love what you are doing for the community. Thanks a lot for doing this!
You popped up on my feed and I was wondering how you would change your advice for the current climate? I am founder of a bootstrapped stealth company (more Palantir-esque than a Chat GPT wrap) and am about to look into pre-seed/seed funding. Would like to get your thoughts.
Thanks for your video. I can feel that all advices are based on honesty and generosity. Could you advise on firming a company in legal. Would you recommend to hire a lawyer to process it? Or is it something founders can do by themselves maybe?
It will be great to see a video on best strategy to raise capital especially for founders with no IV league background. You mentioned you help founder also raise money, do you know companies or consultant that focus on such service?
It’s been done before but these days, as seed financing got larger, the threshold/expectation around traction is going up as well. If you have a repeat team (with a previous moderate and above track record) then it should still be doable, but generally, recommend at least internal prototype to an early traction to raise efficiently and enough appreciation of valuation!
it looks like you have abandoned this channel? I saw this video and it was helpful. Every business uses technology in some way or another. Even Real Estate uses tech, but companies that do office cleaning or ship food to your home are saying they are tech! It's crazy. We are a cross between Real Estate and Sports, but our scheduling and ordering is done online. We will have an app for our on-site users for when they are not on-site. This doesn't make us a tech company. Any suggestions of where to find a group that wants to solve a problem, has a huge and growing market, and would like to work with my all-star team of experienced leaders.
As a founder raising funds, Thanks for the great content!
Wow, this is probably the best video I've watched on seed funding, thank you!
