    This video is really slick. No intro, no cruft. Starts off right in the action. I have a habit of skipping ahead 15-30 seconds every time I watch a new video under the assumption that there's a useless intro. It works quite well 99% of the time but was completely unnecessary here. Huge props.

      When you are watching videos for free, you are actually paying your "viewership" which contend creators generate revenue via paid ads (thus making viewer part of the product, rather than the consumer). And this is how capitalism works in internet era my friend.

    Fun fact: In 1968, Warren Buffett was serving on the board of trustees for Grinnell College in Iowa. One of Buffett's fellow board trustees, Bob Noyce, was raising the seed capital to start Intel. The college endowment decided to invest $100k in Intel (total round size was $2.5 million (Buffett wasn't the one who proposed the idea in the first place, but he did vote in favour of it, because he had full trust in the judgment of his fellow board members). Now, Buffett also had the opportunity to invest his own money in Intel, but he rejected, because he doesn't like technology investments.

    To think that venture capitalists could acquire companies and reap major rewards when the founding team typically doesn't get the same control over the direction of their own company goes to show that dual-class shares are important for control. Series A, B and C funding are helpful because owners can effectively get immense money to scale or grow their business without losing much control, shares or profit. Since every company does their equity contracts differently because of the ambiguity regarding the legal terms, some owners may be lucky in the deal while others might take a bullet.

    Great video. A big part is skipped over. Why was silicon valley started in the bay area?
    It turns out that 1. The geography of the bay had brought the military around 1900 who needed tech. 2. The geography of the bay which didn't have bridges at the time depended on hamm radio operators for communication, hence Telegraph Ave. 3. Already before the jeans and t shirt culture of startups like Google, the area was known to be more relaxed in work attire even in the 1910s, possibly due to the wild west attitude of the gold rush. 4. Palo Alto area has literally the best weather in the most growing country at the time. If you wanted the best lifestyle while pursuing odd new tech like radios this was the place to do it so it became a magnet for talent.
