Favourite Q &A..How to grow your network. If I won $1000 I will use it on our start-up because we are from a third world country and raising money has been hard. Amazing videos Justin.
Firstly, I love watching your videos!! You always drop so much knowledge 📝 & Jen is hilarious 🤣 I would use some of the money to help my father with rent this month ! I would also put the money towards my new lash business and some podcast equipment 😱✨
Storytelling is one of the things I recommend to all parents. I'm thankful that my grandmother not only told me stories but when she finished she would ask me to tell her a story. Children are usually open to it and it's a great way to start getting them to develop a useful life skill.
As a start-up founder from a third world country who is currently struggling to raise money I will spend the $1000 won on our start up. You and Garry Tan are extremely knowledgeable love watching you.
I’m a co-founder of a hardware startup that’s doing last mile drone delivery. I’ve dropped out of college and sold my car to be able to do this. I’d need that cash for when I’m under the bridge this winter.
Hey Justin and Jen. My passport expires in December and I will live-stream shave my eyebrows for the 1k. The plus side is with an ugly passport picture I might not be able to land a normal job in Europe and will be forced to take the next step with my carbon fiber luggage startup. I just posted a video showing my luggage prototype and, more importantly, the brows. Huge thanks to you and Jen for putting out these videos. It feels like you’re always speaking directly to me. Your advice on not perfecting the product is what made me decide to go forward with this post and video.
0:12 Intro 1:56 What is the worst advice you have ever gotten? 3:18 How do you get out of the trap of perfectionism? 4:22 How do you grow your network? 5:58 Would you rather work at a startup or start your own? RAPID-FIRE SECTION 6:49 What is your favourite TV show? 7:03 What is your favourite movie? 7:12 What is your guilty pleasure? 7:52 If you could eat one dish for the rest of your life, what would it be? 8:08 What is the most extravagant meal you have ever had? 8:47 Would you ever go to space? NORMAL QUESTIONS RESUME 9:59 What are your three favourite books that you recommend? 11:17 Who do you look up to? 11:45 How do you get into TechCrunch? 12:45 When do you wake up, when do you go to bed / Do you have any routines? 13:42 What is your definition of hard work? 15:00 What was your lowest low, and what was your highest high? 16:21 What is a bad habit that you have, and what are you doing to overcome it? 18:28 Do you feel like you need your higher education? 19:22 What is your advice to a young person who wants to be wealthy? GOATED QUESTION 20:25 What is your hair care routine? Absolute love the videos Justin, the $1000 would be amazing to front some AWS and database costs for a startup idea MVP I'm trying to launch. Stay epic and keep killing it!
Heyo Shreyas All cloud platforms always give Credits for new businesses. Don't miss out! If it's not said publicly, an email with some genuine explanation will do it. Hope it helps, ♡
🍎🔼3 Things that make this Q&A great! 🔼🍎 1) Great for listening while doing chores. 2) The format feels like chatting with a friend. 3) Lots of subtle tips that are essential for founders. I would use the 💲1000 to pay my team to start a small side project where we create a goofy video game about an aspect of Justin's life. keep up the great work Justin and Jen!
I loved the video on the $88M Mansion you should definitely do more vlog style content maybe tours of your silicon valley friend's houses, car collection ,watch collection etc
Justin, been needing deviated septum surgery since college. My quality of life would instantly be improved by about 10% if I get that surgery. Love the channel.
when I got my pre-surgery evaluation she said my nostrils are the size of a regular mcdonalds straw on the left side and a little red coffee straw on the right. cold world bro...
1000 is a lot of money, curious about how you will make your choice. Jen is awesome and this duo works. She's really looking up to you 😉 Take care and have fun guys✌️
$925 would go towards building a basic app instead of using IFTTT. $75 to file a provisional patent. I have no clue how to build an app, so I figured out how to use IFTTT to prove my idea works. It does. I already made a physical working prototype and I'm teaching myself blender so I can build a refined 3d printed version of it next. The $1000 would help me get the idea from my head, out into the real world in a usable way.
Justin! Love that you're sharing all these pieces of wisdom for free! I don't need the $1K BUT if you picked me I would use it to build out my data booster setup for the off-grid property my wife and I are building. Working for a tech start-up from the woods of Maine while raising and homeschooling my kids is about as epic as it gets in my mind 🙏 Thank you for continuing to help me improve and see the world through an ever improving lens! Much love man!
I'd use the $1,000 to get a silver play button. Started in 2008 and still don't have one. Really want one before RUclips decides to stop sending them out. Would do an unboxing video of the $1,000 and try to get more subs with that content. Then would do a giveaway with the $1,000 so it's like paying forward your strategy for getting more subs, to get more subs, and would in turn get you more subs too. If all that fails, I'll just use the $1,000 to buy an unofficial silver play button.
I just quit my job to start my startup in the audio space and would use the 1000$ to cover the cloud infrastructure cost of my service during product beta feedback loop. Raising is an option but I would rather validate my assumptions first before getting into any deals.
I am 21. I am currently studying. I do this so I can later have a well paying job. But honestly this is not what I want to do forever. I just want to make my own thing. I want to start something I can be proud of.
I have a little start-up in a mid-sized city. It's sort of a seasonal business so I'd use those dollars to help me get through the winter! Great video as always! I don't have any entrepreneur friends so I'm trying to network to get around like minded people who like to geek out about the same things as me. It's definitely way harder to start a business alone with no one to talk things through with! If you're in the Denver/Boulder area, hit me up! haha
Hey! Been watching your videos for a while, love the entrepreneurial view you can bring to things. As a content creator I've been trying to take bigger leaps in what I do and put out there. One of my ideas has been to organize an amazing tournament, but sadly I don't have the revenue to work with at the moment. So if I were to win that 1000, that's where it would go, a kick-ass tourney that would produce amazing content for the Hearthstone community :)
Hi Justin, every time a new video is uploaded, the first thing that I check is your hair😁😁. They seem to grow older and older every time you upload😆😆. Jokes aside, I’m enrolling myself in a coding Bootcamp; there was a scholarship available that would pay the whole course, but that entire scholarship has been maxed out, and I’ve been put into a waitlist with no guarantee. I was thinking of paying by out-of-pocket expense, but cash is a problem, so If I were to receive your $1,000. Not only would I look into an anti-aging hair care routine, but also invest the rest into my coding boot camp expenses. Cheers!
A YC interview for W22 over 1k dollars would honestly be my BIGGEST wish (gotta shoot your shot sometimes), ily so much for this channel Justin. Subbed when this channel was made so Jen could keep her job and hopefully that 1k 😊
this is big brain, but maybe try sending an email to Jen with details so she can filter for Justin. Just my 2 cents as a fellow entrepreneur. YCombinator is an amazing partner. Make sure you have your pitched nailed, ideally show traction.
I'm from Brazil, and my wife just received an acceptance letter for a post graduantion course in Canada. We're leaving our lives here (jobs, family and friends) to have a new beginning over there. The thing is, we're on budget and this money would help us a lot.
I'd like the $1000 for my startup. Its an American video live streaming service that focuses on video game live streaming, including broadcasts of esports competitions. In addition, it offers music broadcasts, creative content, and more recently, "in real life" streams. Nah but in all seriousness, I could really use it to go on a nice vacation after I graduate college at the end of this year.
I really need the money to deworm my dog. You see, we all love dogs. From Chiwawas to Saint Bernards, we want them to live a happy and playful life. Unfortunatly my Golden Doodle cannot live that life due to some restrictions at my local park. Giving me 1000 dollars will not only deworm my dog, but allow him to have social interactions with his kind, make new friends, and ultimatly make all the other dogs at the local park happy. So celebrate my poor Golden Doodle's life through the freedom of social interaction at my local park!
$1000 for materials to grow plants without using soil at all. Then record the whole process (from Austin) in a simple enough form for my mom (in India) since she loves planting and also share the videos here as well for others to learn Hydroponics for sustainable indoor farming. Thanks! Loved your video as always Justin. Keep em coming
Because your stories I am inspired to become developer and a founder myself. I have been learning some none code tools using my smartphone that is because it is the only electronic device I have. Being a student here in Uganda, $1000 is a lot of money, it can help me buy a laptop computer to be able to start learning coding.
Been hustling as a founder for a while now with minimal salary and need a bit of an escape. Moved closer to the ocean and would love to purchase a surfboard and wetsuit to refresh the mind :)
It has been 6 months since I last went to school at my Uni. I would use the money for tuition, I've got 2 years to graduate and the money would be enough to cover a year and a half of my studies.
I would use the money as bait to get your input on my startup. It's a software startup that helps people to find the right help for their mental issues.
My wedding is coming up and i'm struggling to finance it. Other people need it more than me I'm sure, but if you're reading these comments. Big fan Justin!
I absolutely need it to cover the costs I am taking to bring my startup to our first conference in Las Vegas! Counter offer: you keep the $1000 and spend a bit of time with us poking holes at our startup?!
I don't really need the $1000, I'm actually working 3 jobs to earn it but having the $1000 would definitely speed up my goals. My goal is to be a writer/speaker/influencer, recently I started a psychology podcast titled "SHADOWS: because the truth is never in the light" I want to touch the touchy subjects, In a world where people are so obssessed with appearing good. I want to bring light to people's darksides, to show the truth! How to harness their dark emotions, as these emotions make us better as humans .. Thanks for being an inspiration Justin!
So I’m almost close to starting my farmers market coffee business, it’s called munch coffee, based in Arizona. I plan on running this business as a get my Computer Science degree from ASU. I’ll use the $1,000 to buy a generator, and finish designing my stand, and hopefully from this I’ll expand into another farmers market. The revenue will help me focus on school and make a side business, help a brother outtt ! 😂
Love the content, keep it up. I don’t really need the $1k as much as others probably, but if I do win I’d put directly in my startup to help our run rate a bit
I have followed you for a long time and I watch most of your videos, you inspire me a lot. I will use your money to pay for my college tuition. I woke up at 4:30 AM go to work at 5:00 AM just to help myself my graduate from college this year.
So i could do either of two things; Buy a ps5 and start livestreamimg Or Get into the NFT market to flip and also support my favorite creators and friends
I'd use the $1k to build a Pumpkin Cannon on my family's farm, for our annual Fall Festival! : D Then I want to take all the older pumpkins that we can't sell and charge people $5 to fire them off in the cannon. Pretty confident I could sell at least 200 pumpkins and could make that $1k back easy ;) I've been wanting to do this for a while but the materials are pretty expensive. I've built a potato cannon before but obviously needs to be a lot bigger for pumpkins lol!
That’s funny you mention the deviated septum surgery. I literally went to the ENT doctor and they said, “Yep the surgery would help you for sure.” So I’m going to get it. Not sure how much is covered by insurance, but whatever’s left of the 1k I’ll use as funding for my Alt protein startup. Thanks for the value as always 🤘
Avg. cost of Ramen = $0.75. Startup budget = Ramen for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Therefore 1 day of runway = $2.25. 1000/2.25 = 444. Over a year worth of runway for a startup founder sounds like a pretty compelling reason tbh
Hey Justin and Jen! I loved this video. (Great to see your face AND your epic hair as well, Jen. Next time, maybe Justin can interview you…ha!) If I were to win the $1,000, I’d use it to upgrade my work chair to something that *actually* supports my neck and back so I can stop walking like the Hunchback of North Philly after I stand up. Aaaand it’s probably time to update my trusty iPhone 8+ 👀😂 Also, when I watched the video, it had 2,222 views. So that seems like a good sign… 🤗
Just last night found out I’ve been let go from my current role as the company is pivoting. Need the money to keep living until I manage to find a new role.
In the place of where I live in Nigeria, there is scarcity of water due to the rocky terrain and inadequate government intervention. $1000 will go a long was in making pipeline access to underground water through mechanized drill. This project will not only be of benefit to me but to the whole community of approximately 1500 people. Thanks Justin.
I would definitely use it for my startup.Been bootstrapping it so far, $1000 would go a long way into making sure we survive as we look for some outside capital.
Just moved to Toronto with my GF and rent is more expensive than we are used to. Working in a DAO but it currently doesn't have the means to pay me. So in the mean time I am biking doing uber eats to get by. Would love love the $1,000 to help cover rent and allow me to focus more on building this DAO than biking and delivering food!
I’d use the $1000 for my startup. We plan to offer a wide range of extracurricular activities to children in schools. We currently have 5 schools doing fencing, and we’re looking to increase that number, before expanding into different sports and activities. Currently, we’re looking for funding towards purchasing kit. This will allow us to target more schools, and give more students the opportunity to take part in sport. Loving all the content, much love from London! 🇬🇧🤺
I have been kicked out by the company I worked for 10 years under the corona pretense. It is very difficult for me with my educational level to find a job in the direction I want to go. So instead of going through the frustration day in and day out, I decided to start my own company. One part being focused on esports/streamer network/learning through gaming and esports courses, and the other being a massive project, and being the first in EU with no solid proof of concept to show in front of investors or anyone really, so those $1000 would go towards the capital for this project, a project that is innovative and creating a new style in the area I am going for. I do not want to let my wife and daughters down, so going this high risk path, is scary and full of uncertainties, but I thought to myself, rather to it than regret not even attempting it at all.
With that $1,000, first I will buy a mini fridge For $109. Now have $891. With that $891 I will keep that fridge stocked for the next 2 and a half years. All thanks to Justin.
I started my own startup in tech. Talented developers / Designer / Product person (me). We failed because we cannot find business/projects to build apps or software products. Spent close to more than 1k starting the LLC, google suite, contract software, insurance, but NO business. :(
First I thought, let me not comment, there's surely someone else who needs it more. Then remembered: Fck, it's been tough as a refugee to build my life-up. Still fighting everyday ⚔
I would buy a flaticon subscription, get a commercial Qt license, hire a UI designer to improve some aspects and layouts I’ve been doing myself and spend the rest advertising my app.
hi Justin, great initiative! 🤩 I'd use the money to buy the ticket for the WebSummit in Lisbon (€900)! I can't afford to pay for the ticket myself, and it could be a great opportunity for networking and meet new people in the tech community during such an important event in Portugal. Omg, it would be fantastic!
Not entirely sure what I want anymore. I am currently a junior in college trying to find cs internships. I feel pressure to get into a big company and it’s my goal but I can physically feel the burn out. Fortunately, I have a start up offer and I am not sure whether I should quit wasting time applying everywhere and preparing for interviews or just start working part time.
This was probably the funniest video you've made until now, especially the gravity correction "for the record" xD I'd use the $1000 to commission artists that need the money to survive.
Ola I'd spend the $ getting a tooth extraction as well as financing initial marketing and setup costs for residential management software (already built, only thing pending is setup/service costs). Also with the software up and running, I create one new job.
I was eating some spaghetti bolognese right at the part when you said “Here’s the secret to getting into techcrunch…” I now need 1k to get the stains of my meal off my wall, desk and desktop due to laughter projectile. Thanks a lot Justin
Id take $60 of the $1000 to renew my Playstation membership and the rest Id keep in the bank when/if I get fired to have at least $940 to fall back on and eventually renew my Playstation membership the next year as well. Gotta be a consistent customer.
I would use the $1000 to pay my rent for a couple of months so I could focus more on building websites and improving my webdev skills to work towards building a startup
My dog unfortunately has been diagnosed with ass cancer and it’s terminal and I want to treat Snookums to a vacation to Key West, it is his favorite place. So I’d love to take him on one more beach trip before it takes him away.
$1K for my startup, so I can put in my deck that Justin Kan invested in my startup. "Middleware for the Small and Medium Sized Construction Companies - The easiest way to think about us is as a Segment for construction company information with the flexibility of Zapier to get work done."
Hi Justin, Thanks for all your videos. I've been soaking in all those golden nuggets. Having 1k extra would help me catch up with my car payment and food.
I Could use the money because im sitting at home thinking about my desperate situation im in because of family related stuff, about the relationship i just ended with my ex and what to do with my life. to be honest i dont really want the money that much. i would love to just talk to someone whos life isnt drastically going downhill. I Just cant find a start to taking steps away from the people really messing with my head and doing something that makes sense. Id love to just talk about psychology, which i would love to start studying just to actually do something positive already. And the biggest thing i want is a happy mum and sister, which is kind of hopeless since my dad is an alcoholic who is really being destructive. just starting to get by after having experienced the worst time of my life. i really cant keep ignoring my own emotions and i would just love to hear what you would say. But anyways, i originally wanted to tell you that you talking how psychedelics effected your way of going through life was really good to hear. I had a similar experience, but with shrooms a few weeks ago. Í have a really messed up life rn but its really only about my dad who terrorized me my whole life and now is starting to rip apart the last bits of our ''family life' without thinking about the amazing family he used to have.
i need it to pay for college next semester,but college tuition is much cheaper here than in America its about 400$ and I'll use the rest for rent..rent also is not as expensive compared to America about 150$/m..it Edit-would help my parents a ton
As part of the Feynman technique of learning, I plan to start a RUclips channel to teach programming (in our native language, Filipino) from what I have learned in class as a first-year BS in Computer Science student. $ 1000 could leverage that plan of action (maybe buy a decent microphone, and camera, lights, and such). Good luck to everyone's participating!
I'm pretty sure that I will look pathetic saying this but that amount of money will be a life changer for me. I live in a 3rd world country, earning $18 per day, working 5x per week with bills to pay, only eating boiled egg and instant food to somehow survive. If I somehow win, I'll treat my family to a good and healthy food. Then save the rest of the money to somehow get myself out of the sh*t hole that I am in.
Who likes the Q&A format? Which question what your favorite?
Hi Justin, $1000 would be really nice to help pay for my French classes so that I can emigrate to Quebec. It could save me like 1-2 years
Q&A is great. Would be nice to see the list of questions with timestamps in the description.
I liked the space travel discussion
Favourite Q &A..How to grow your network. If I won $1000 I will use it on our start-up because we are from a third world country and raising money has been hard. Amazing videos Justin.
The fact you like donuts and pastries

Fail for not giving info on your start up. That's interesting. Being from a poor country isn't. Gl.

Shouting FORKING Bezos every time someone ask you: What went wrong?
That acc sounds dope, do you have an email, website, or contact, would be interested to hear more about it
Hey Justin and Jen. My passport expires in December and I will live-stream shave my eyebrows for the 1k. The plus side is with an ugly passport picture I might not be able to land a normal job in Europe and will be forced to take the next step with my carbon fiber luggage startup. I just posted a video showing my luggage prototype and, more importantly, the brows.

Absolute love the videos Justin, the $1000 would be amazing to front some AWS and database costs for a startup idea MVP I'm trying to launch. Stay epic and keep killing it!
This is awesome! Thank you!
Heyo Shreyas
All cloud platforms always give Credits for new businesses. Don't miss out! If it's not said publicly, an email with some genuine explanation will do it.
Hope it helps, ♡
I'd say he earns the $1000 for this comment
this guy deserves the $$$$
Following up here, congrats, you won the $1000! Email jen@justinkan.com to claim it and good luck with your startup MVP
i like how you try to show your life to everyone.
Great job Jen!! I love Justin's videos and had no idea you were producing his channel. Keep up the great work. -Nick from Antares :)
Ahh omg, thank you so much! Nice to see you here in the comments, Nick! :) Hope things are well!
🍎🔼3 Things that make this Q&A great! 🔼🍎
1) Great for listening while doing chores. 2) The format feels like chatting with a friend. 3) Lots of subtle tips that are essential for founders.
I would use the 💲1000 to pay my team to start a small side project where we create a goofy video game about an aspect of Justin's life.
keep up the great work Justin and Jen!
I loved the video on the $88M Mansion
you should definitely do more vlog style content
maybe tours of your silicon valley friend's houses, car collection ,watch collection etc
nah, sounds boring. Advice is better than bragging
@@nerdclapper1983 lemme guess
you read 30 books a week and spend thousands buying courses on "how to have a 6 figure side hustle"
Justin, been needing deviated septum surgery since college. My quality of life would instantly be improved by about 10% if I get that surgery. Love the channel.
when I got my pre-surgery evaluation she said my nostrils are the size of a regular mcdonalds straw on the left side and a little red coffee straw on the right. cold world bro...
If I don't get the money, I hope you do
1000 is a lot of money, curious about how you will make your choice.
Jen is awesome and this duo works. She's really looking up to you 😉
Take care and have fun guys✌️
Aww this means a lot! Love hearing this
$925 would go towards building a basic app instead of using IFTTT. $75 to file a provisional patent.

I already made a physical working prototype and I'm teaching myself blender so I can build a refined 3d printed version of it next. The $1000 would help me get the idea from my head, out into the real world in a usable way.
I’d use the $1000 to rescue whoever’s trapped in Justin’s basement and yelling throughout the video 😂
I second this, we need to rescue the person stuck in the basement 🤭
So I can say “We raised money from Justin Kan” in my pitch deck.
Happy to get the 1k to prove that half of success is just showing up ;)
Justin! Love that you're sharing all these pieces of wisdom for free! I don't need the $1K BUT if you picked me I would use it to build out my data booster setup for the off-grid property my wife and I are building. Working for a tech start-up from the woods of Maine while raising and homeschooling my kids is about as epic as it gets in my mind 🙏
Thank you for continuing to help me improve and see the world through an ever improving lens! Much love man!
I need it to keep watching such useful and entertaining content! Thanks Justin!
I'd use the $1,000 to get a silver play button. Started in 2008 and still don't have one. Really want one before RUclips decides to stop sending them out. Would do an unboxing video of the $1,000 and try to get more subs with that content. Then would do a giveaway with the $1,000 so it's like paying forward your strategy for getting more subs, to get more subs, and would in turn get you more subs too. If all that fails, I'll just use the $1,000 to buy an unofficial silver play button.
She is doing a great job! Love the moving names and the fonts! Super cool!
Keep up the great work Jen!
I just quit my job to start my startup in the audio space and would use the 1000$ to cover the cloud infrastructure cost of my service during product beta feedback loop. Raising is an option but I would rather validate my assumptions first before getting into any deals.
Justin I don’t need the money but just wanted to say you’re a blessing to this world. Never forget that. Xoxo hugs kisses

If you're in the Denver/Boulder area, hit me up! haha
Love the style of your content Justin! Make more content about your FAILURES and how it helped you to do better in your businesses.
Hey! Been watching your videos for a while, love the entrepreneurial view you can bring to things. As a content creator I've been trying to take bigger leaps in what I do and put out there.

Need more Jen!!! Respectfully ($1000 would be nice). All love for the channel :). Can’t wait until the tik tok blow up as well!!
I was wondering how you were so good at producing your videos. Now I know. Great production quality
Hi Justin,
every time a new video is uploaded, the first thing that I check is your hair😁😁. They seem to grow older and older every time you upload😆😆. Jokes aside, I’m enrolling myself in a coding Bootcamp; there was a scholarship available that would pay the whole course, but that entire scholarship has been maxed out, and I’ve been put into a waitlist with no guarantee. I was thinking of paying by out-of-pocket expense, but cash is a problem, so If I were to receive your $1,000. Not only would I look into an anti-aging hair care routine, but also invest the rest into my coding boot camp expenses.
Cheers!
A YC interview for W22 over 1k dollars would honestly be my BIGGEST wish (gotta shoot your shot sometimes), ily so much for this channel Justin. Subbed when this channel was made so Jen could keep her job and hopefully that 1k 😊
this is big brain, but maybe try sending an email to Jen with details so she can filter for Justin.
Just my 2 cents as a fellow entrepreneur. YCombinator is an amazing partner. Make sure you have your pitched nailed, ideally show traction.
Wooooo
I'm from Brazil, and my wife just received an acceptance letter for a post graduantion course in Canada. We're leaving our lives here (jobs, family and friends) to have a new beginning over there. The thing is, we're on budget and this money would help us a lot.
Need the 1000 for 1. New Chair, 2. New Headset,3. Books, 4. Christmas Gifts, and if there is anything left STONKS
I'd like the $1000 for my startup.
Its an American video live streaming service that focuses on video game live streaming, including broadcasts of esports competitions. In addition, it offers music broadcasts, creative content, and more recently, "in real life" streams.
Nah but in all seriousness, I could really use it to go on a nice vacation after I graduate college at the end of this year.
2005 - A phone with CAMERA
2021- A Camera with a PHONE
2014- An Entrepreneur sold his company for $1 B
2021 - That Guy giving me $1000
Lol. good one!
Insane
hehehe
I really need the money to deworm my dog. You see, we all love dogs. From Chiwawas to Saint Bernards, we want them to live a happy and playful life. Unfortunatly my Golden Doodle cannot live that life due to some restrictions at my local park. Giving me 1000 dollars will not only deworm my dog, but allow him to have social interactions with his kind, make new friends, and ultimatly make all the other dogs at the local park happy. So celebrate my poor Golden Doodle's life through the freedom of social interaction at my local park!
this dude is pretty funny, unlike most successful cofounders he aint serious at all
To quit my job and have enough runway to start working on my startup. £20k / 50k so far.
1% equity for Justin and Jen.
Love your content!
$1000 for materials to grow plants without using soil at all. Then record the whole process (from Austin) in a simple enough form for my mom (in India) since she loves planting and also share the videos here as well for others to learn Hydroponics for sustainable indoor farming. Thanks! Loved your video as always Justin. Keep em coming
Because your stories I am inspired to become developer and a founder myself. I have been learning some none code tools using my smartphone that is because it is the only electronic device I have. Being a student here in Uganda, $1000 is a lot of money, it can help me buy a laptop computer to be able to start learning coding.
I would buy 50 copies of The Almanack of naval ravikant and everytime I go on the train I will drop one with a note. And give like 5/10 to relatives.
Give him $1000
Been hustling as a founder for a while now with minimal salary and need a bit of an escape. Moved closer to the ocean and would love to purchase a surfboard and wetsuit to refresh the mind :)
It has been 6 months since I last went to school at my Uni. I would use the money for tuition, I've got 2 years to graduate and the money would be enough to cover a year and a half of my studies.
I would use the money as bait to get your input on my startup. It's a software startup that helps people to find the right help for their mental issues.
My wedding is coming up and i'm struggling to finance it. Other people need it more than me I'm sure, but if you're reading these comments. Big fan Justin!
I like Carlos Martinez Sanchez's comment to pay his mom's rent! That's way more important than what I'd do with it. My vote is for Carlos!
I absolutely need it to cover the costs I am taking to bring my startup to our first conference in Las Vegas!
Counter offer: you keep the $1000 and spend a bit of time with us poking holes at our startup?!
I don't really need the $1000, I'm actually working 3 jobs to earn it but having the $1000 would definitely speed up my goals.
My goal is to be a writer/speaker/influencer, recently I started a psychology podcast titled "SHADOWS: because the truth is never in the light" I want to touch the touchy subjects, In a world where people are so obssessed with appearing good. I want to bring light to people's darksides, to show the truth! How to harness their dark emotions, as these emotions make us better as humans ..
Thanks for being an inspiration Justin!
So I’m almost close to starting my farmers market coffee business, it’s called munch coffee, based in Arizona. I plan on running this business as a get my Computer Science degree from ASU.
I’ll use the $1,000 to buy a generator, and finish designing my stand,
and hopefully from this I’ll expand into another farmers market. The revenue will help me focus on school and make a side business, help a brother outtt ! 😂
Love the content, keep it up. I don’t really need the $1k as much as others probably, but if I do win I’d put directly in my startup to help our run rate a bit
I have followed you for a long time and I watch most of your videos, you inspire me a lot. I will use your money to pay for my college tuition. I woke up at 4:30 AM go to work at 5:00 AM just to help myself my graduate from college this year.
Jen your amazing 🥰. Justin your videos are awesome!!
Omg I'm so flattered haha thank you!
@@jenlee9614 no problem. Yosh! 😎
Justin, I’m going to be straight up, with the 1k I will buy 774 McChickens from McDonalds
So i could do either of two things;
Buy a ps5 and start livestreamimg
Or
Get into the NFT market to flip and also support my favorite creators and friends
I'd use the $1k to build a Pumpkin Cannon on my family's farm, for our annual Fall Festival! : D
Then I want to take all the older pumpkins that we can't sell and charge people $5 to fire them off in the cannon. Pretty confident I could sell at least 200 pumpkins and could make that $1k back easy ;)
I've been wanting to do this for a while but the materials are pretty expensive. I've built a potato cannon before but obviously needs to be a lot bigger for pumpkins lol!
That’s funny you mention the deviated septum surgery. I literally went to the ENT doctor and they said, “Yep the surgery would help you for sure.” So I’m going to get it. Not sure how much is covered by insurance, but whatever’s left of the 1k I’ll use as funding for my Alt protein startup. Thanks for the value as always 🤘
Avg. cost of Ramen = $0.75. Startup budget = Ramen for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Therefore 1 day of runway = $2.25. 1000/2.25 = 444. Over a year worth of runway for a startup founder sounds like a pretty compelling reason tbh
Necesity is a mother of invention! You can never launch too many times. Gonna remember these two. 😉 Great episode!
Hey Justin and Jen! I loved this video. (Great to see your face AND your epic hair as well, Jen. Next time, maybe Justin can interview you…ha!)
If I were to win the $1,000, I’d use it to upgrade my work chair to something that *actually* supports my neck and back so I can stop walking like the Hunchback of North Philly after I stand up. Aaaand it’s probably time to update my trusty iPhone 8+ 👀😂 Also, when I watched the video, it had 2,222 views. So that seems like a good sign… 🤗
The fastest way to $100 is to start with $1000. Every professional startup knows this.
Uno comma to uno dot.
Just last night found out I’ve been let go from my current role as the company is pivoting. Need the money to keep living until I manage to find a new role.
how to make Billionaire friends come to YOU:
be a Trillionaire
In the place of where I live in Nigeria, there is scarcity of water due to the rocky terrain and inadequate government intervention. $1000 will go a long was in making pipeline access to underground water through mechanized drill. This project will not only be of benefit to me but to the whole community of approximately 1500 people. Thanks Justin.
I would definitely use it for my startup.Been bootstrapping it so far, $1000 would go a long way into making sure we survive as we look for some outside capital.
Just moved to Toronto with my GF and rent is more expensive than we are used to. Working in a DAO but it currently doesn't have the means to pay me. So in the mean time I am biking doing uber eats to get by. Would love love the $1,000 to help cover rent and allow me to focus more on building this DAO than biking and delivering food!
I’d use the $1000 for my startup. We plan to offer a wide range of extracurricular activities to children in schools. We currently have 5 schools doing fencing, and we’re looking to increase that number, before expanding into different sports and activities.
Currently, we’re looking for funding towards purchasing kit. This will allow us to target more schools, and give more students the opportunity to take part in sport.
Loving all the content, much love from London! 🇬🇧🤺
Need those $1,000 to turn them into 10k. Mowing lawns.
I would use the 1k to hire a team of designers to create a Justin Kan Picasso painting and sell it to a museum :)
I have been kicked out by the company I worked for 10 years under the corona pretense. It is very difficult for me with my educational level to find a job in the direction I want to go. So instead of going through the frustration day in and day out, I decided to start my own company. One part being focused on esports/streamer network/learning through gaming and esports courses, and the other being a massive project, and being the first in EU with no solid proof of concept to show in front of investors or anyone really, so those $1000 would go towards the capital for this project, a project that is innovative and creating a new style in the area I am going for. I do not want to let my wife and daughters down, so going this high risk path, is scary and full of uncertainties, but I thought to myself, rather to it than regret not even attempting it at all.
With that $1,000, first I will buy a mini fridge For $109. Now have $891. With that $891 I will keep that fridge stocked for the next 2 and a half years. All thanks to Justin.
If chosen, I will use the $1000 to buy 1000 $1 lottery tickets. 😂
I started my own startup in tech. Talented developers / Designer / Product person (me). We failed because we cannot find business/projects to build apps or software products. Spent close to more than 1k starting the LLC, google suite, contract software, insurance, but NO business. :(
First I thought, let me not comment, there's surely someone else who needs it more.
Then remembered: Fck, it's been tough as a refugee to build my life-up.
Still fighting everyday ⚔
I would buy a flaticon subscription, get a commercial Qt license, hire a UI designer to improve some aspects and layouts I’ve been doing myself and spend the rest advertising my app.
Never subscribed this fast on a video.
hi Justin, great initiative! 🤩 I'd use the money to buy the ticket for the WebSummit in Lisbon (€900)! I can't afford to pay for the ticket myself, and it could be a great opportunity for networking and meet new people in the tech community during such an important event in Portugal. Omg, it would be fantastic!
I'll use the money for online training on soft skills, pay my balance from my master's degree to proceed, and get my self certified.
Too start my design agency for other New Zealand creatives. Were in lockdown but can have picnics.
Not entirely sure what I want anymore. I am currently a junior in college trying to find cs internships. I feel pressure to get into a big company and it’s my goal but I can physically feel the burn out. Fortunately, I have a start up offer and I am not sure whether I should quit wasting time applying everywhere and preparing for interviews or just start working part time.
This was probably the funniest video you've made until now, especially the gravity correction "for the record" xD I'd use the $1000 to commission artists that need the money to survive.
I'd use the $1000 to fund the first annual Squid Games at my local kindergarten 🦑
If i get the $1000, i will give it to this dude to host the squid game at his/her local kindergarten.
@@insunym You and Justin will receive the first two VIP invitations
Ola
I'd spend the $ getting a tooth extraction as well as financing initial marketing and setup costs for residential management software (already built, only thing pending is setup/service costs). Also with the software up and running, I create one new job.
I was eating some spaghetti bolognese right at the part when you said “Here’s the secret to getting into techcrunch…” I now need 1k to get the stains of my meal off my wall, desk and desktop due to laughter projectile. Thanks a lot Justin
To invest in self development courses, dating, style, business
Id take $60 of the $1000 to renew my Playstation membership and the rest Id keep in the bank when/if I get fired to have at least $940 to fall back on and eventually renew my Playstation membership the next year as well. Gotta be a consistent customer.
I would use the $1000 to pay my rent for a couple of months so I could focus more on building websites and improving my webdev skills to work towards building a startup
My dog unfortunately has been diagnosed with ass cancer and it’s terminal and I want to treat Snookums to a vacation to Key West, it is his favorite place. So I’d love to take him on one more beach trip before it takes him away.
Hi Justin & Jen - thanks for the great Q&A! I would use the $1,000 to build an elaborate palace for my elderly Amazon parrot named Amigo 🙂❤️
$1K for my startup, so I can put in my deck that Justin Kan invested in my startup.
"Middleware for the Small and Medium Sized Construction Companies - The easiest way to think about us is as a Segment for construction company information with the flexibility of Zapier to get work done."
I've been bootstrapping my startup. I need to pay for servers and other costs. Thanks for the video's.
Hi Justin, Thanks for all your videos. I've been soaking in all those golden nuggets. Having 1k extra would help me catch up with my car payment and food.
I Could use the money because im sitting at home thinking about my desperate situation im in because of family related stuff, about the relationship i just ended with my ex and what to do with my life.
to be honest i dont really want the money that much. i would love to just talk to someone whos life isnt drastically going downhill. I Just cant find a start to taking steps away from the people really messing with my head and doing something that makes sense. Id love to just talk about psychology, which i would love to start studying just to actually do something positive already. And the biggest thing i want is a happy mum and sister, which is kind of hopeless since my dad is an alcoholic who is really being destructive.
just starting to get by after having experienced the worst time of my life. i really cant keep ignoring my own emotions and i would just love to hear what you would say.
But anyways, i originally wanted to tell you that you talking how psychedelics effected your way of going through life was really good to hear. I had a similar experience, but with shrooms a few weeks ago. Í have a really messed up life rn but its really only about my dad who terrorized me my whole life and now is starting to rip apart the last bits of our ''family life' without thinking about the amazing family he used to have.
I do need it for my health problems and for my WFH setup.
i need it to pay for college next semester,but college tuition is much cheaper here than in America its about 400$ and I'll use the rest for rent..rent also is not as expensive compared to America about 150$/m..it
Edit-would help my parents a ton
As part of the Feynman technique of learning, I plan to start a RUclips channel to teach programming (in our native language, Filipino) from what I have learned in class as a first-year BS in Computer Science student. $ 1000 could leverage that plan of action (maybe buy a decent microphone, and camera, lights, and such). Good luck to everyone's participating!
I would use the 1k to buy myself a piano to start my rock band 😎
I'm pretty sure that I will look pathetic saying this but that amount of money will be a life changer for me. I live in a 3rd world country, earning $18 per day, working 5x per week with bills to pay, only eating boiled egg and instant food to somehow survive.
If I somehow win, I'll treat my family to a good and healthy food. Then save the rest of the money to somehow get myself out of the sh*t hole that I am in.
