there is too much competition i think startup culture in us is going downhill founders are just doing same thing and gaslighting.Even china now got same ai capabilities with so low cost
@It’s literally in the title… nothing against her, I just feel like a lot of entrepreneurs nowadays appreciate more to hear stories about products that are actually generating money - 75m$ revenue sounds better than 75$m raised.
@@inboxpilot yes I agree with you whole-heartedly. I was actually much more interested in the "7 months research" she did before even start building the products but it was just mentioned in passing. One would imagine it's extremely hard to conduct this type of b2b research - it's not like asking people if they like chocolate mink cookies made of avocado. That said, I think entrepreneurs today still care a lot about raising money rather than "how did they find the problem to solve in the first place" and "how can they have the hypothesis that enough companies will need the product"
its not about ideas or coding, its about the ability to raise money! tons of money are lost through these start up because its part of the taking risk culture of investing, so its not about the product its about the ability to sell it
Getting a good cofounder is very key to any startup. Am wrking on a techn startup in the construction industry but getting a cofounder has been one of my challenge.
It's difficult finding a co founder as driven as you. I've found a few have been complacent and haven't added much input. Still waiting for a co founder that's driven as I am. Hopefully one day!
It is a unified API platform. In software when you are building a Saas(Software as a service) product you usually have to integrate with a lot of other Saas products using APIs. Instead of integrating individually with these products you can just integrate with merge(the product in the video) and they handle all the integrations for you. Saves a ton of time.
Great topic! But I've noticed that many Americans, especially women, often use a particular tone of voice when speaking. Is there a cultural or linguistic reason behind it? I'm curious to understand.
Your tone reminded me of ruclips.net/video/F2y5q31E1gQ/видео.htmlsi=xJEdSc2coICX9q0V So, I won't ask the founder why are you talking like that, but my genuine question is that why are we celebrating debt before building the product.

The first 2 minutes of this is gold. Spend 99.9% of your time talking to customers and getting their pain points, especially in the early days!
These api platforms are so important since most companies have dozens of different SaaS products that need to be connected. Great job 👏🏽

@@Brodragon2225 truth. idk how they can earn that amount of money when china is doing exactly same hting
Felt like the product was "raising money" ...
I keep hearing this kind of comments whenever the products are more technnically-oriented. She literally said nothing about raising money

EO editing did Ding a dirty.. I’ve rewatched the first segment now a few times and noting in the YT title maps.
its not about ideas or coding, its about the ability to raise money! tons of money are lost through these start up because its part of the taking risk culture of investing, so its not about the product its about the ability to sell it
I’d love to work with this woman. Excellent. 💪🏼
Getting a good cofounder is very key to any startup. Am wrking on a techn startup in the construction industry but getting a cofounder has been one of my challenge.
Come bro let's work together ❤️
That's true, a good cofounder is the key.
Don't wait for anybody. Go ahead and start. Co founder will come along the way
It's difficult finding a co founder as driven as you. I've found a few have been complacent and haven't added much input. Still waiting for a co founder that's driven as I am. Hopefully one day!
Facing a very similar problem.
I loved the video she gave priceless advice! 🎉
this was a great mini interview!
Next episode: Stop having a product, how I raised 100 million without a product.
😂
Seriously! Like how could they forget to include that part 😑
Great insights! Super in line with heavy R&D before launch.
Fun Fact the first rule of business is buy low sell high
Cracks me up when people say they have product market fit yet they’re pre customers and pre revenue.
thank you shensi ding
This is wonderful, Thanks!
Guys what's the product here?
It is a unified API platform. In software when you are building a Saas(Software as a service) product you usually have to integrate with a lot of other Saas products using APIs. Instead of integrating individually with these products you can just integrate with merge(the product in the video) and they handle all the integrations for you. Saves a ton of time.
@@ShauryaRajRathore thx ❤
They BOTH studied coding?? wheres the no code part.?
😂😂😂
It was in the context of researching and studying the market before building
Great topic! But I've noticed that many Americans, especially women, often use a particular tone of voice when speaking. Is there a cultural or linguistic reason behind it? I'm curious to understand.
It's called vocal fry and it makes this interview almost impossible to listen to 😩
This is so misleading. They didnt code, because they already had a product! That needed code to make it.
her accent is the worst part
she decided to talk like that
losers can’t stand women talking
vocal fry
Hi i am from India and i looking for co-founder for my software company
I want you to be my cofounder lol. 😂
In the RUclips Comments section?
@probot7588 do you have a working prototype or an idea?
Prefer not to compete
Everything in this video can be found through a 10 minute google search
that posh accent nvm lol
Ah~~~I got to the final round with this company and they cancelled on me. They wanted people in NYC but I wanted to go to the SF office.
Too much abstraction. Also, why does she keep stretching her words?
Vocal fry
researching for 6 months without doing any actual work is insane. build iterate until you find product market fit
This method is great if you have money. But it is the best
LA accent.. Kim Kardashian
She talks like the coffee shop girl from Laudermilk 😂
They should stop cheering up when raising money, show me the profit baby 😂
Dude her voice though 😂
She makes great points, only sad thing was having to listen to her severe case of vocal fryyyyy
The vocal rasp is insane...
Lost me at Step 1
The accent is very cali
I'm actually from Boston. :)
@shensiding noooooo way
Surely there are real inventors and engineers who would have put this capital to better use. Whoever their VC who funded this round should be ashamed.
vaporware
yapping
The way of talking is annoying me. First time happening, what region is this accent or way of talking?
love it
Mmm..okmmm...mmm
Beautiful woman
Aha don't build but spend a year in "stealth mode". What a rediculously anoying person
Interesting subject, empty video, intolerable voice.
why does she talk like that.??
I am building a software with AI that could use an investment. Can you help me? Just hear me out!
Coding with ai?
Ok ill hear you our tell me about it
I can help you find investors
So she just sold an idea? Not even attempted to build it?
Your tone reminded me of ruclips.net/video/F2y5q31E1gQ/видео.htmlsi=xJEdSc2coICX9q0V
So, I won't ask the founder why are you talking like that, but my genuine question is that why are we celebrating debt before building the product.
