You are blessed to have such a friendly, open and honest VC to work with. This does not seem to be the norm in the startup world. Honestly, this was a goldmine of information on helpful tips & tricks before pitching your own product to potential investors. Be succinct. State the problem clearly. State your solution clearly. Have some real beta testers. Have some real testers. Show that you can hustle.
I work in BD for a gaming company and this was one of the most insightful videos I’ve seen on pitching and pitch building - would love to see more of this type of content please
I don’t comment a lot(trying to change that), but I have to say I don’t think I have ever seen a video like this. It’s really brings the foreign experience of interacting with VCs down to earth. Wish I could like the vid 5 times. Great content Brodie. ❤
Ahhhhh! Thank you so much for getting out of your comfort zone and commenting such kind words Lamar! Cheers man! And glad it helps! Will keep making stuff for ya
Amazing video Jay! Seriously keep this up, I’m loving the content, I recently started my own business being a second year in business school and this is something that is really keeping me going! Thank you Jay, this is very valuable!
What can I say... Excellent Content. We are doing an angel raise now and will be looking for VC funding in 6 months so this is super helpful. Keep on doing what you've been doing.
I started watching your videos a couple months ago and I've truly gained so much valuable insight into running a business. Your character and charisma is compelling and I'd love to work on the team. I'm in my first year of Computer Science right now so I hope that by the time I get some experience, y'all will still be looking at hiring developers for Stan!
Great video. Thank you. I’m looking for angel investor myself for my start up, and can’t get over her true peace of advise: make sure you want 5 million dollars.. bc once you take its you started a marathon you can’t get off… such a subtle statement, but when you really think about it deeply, she’s completely right!! Once you get those 5 million, you have just put yourself the biggest responsibility on yourself; wow!! Literally had an epiphany!
I GOT HOOKED IMMEDIATELY! Really beautiful product! Man's own the full cycle. From a post-production point of view, it will be nice to have your video shot side by side with the slides for most of the part when you started roasting your slides or sharing your thoughts. That way, we will actually focus on the slides and actually feel like a teachable moment.
This founder/VC relationship is awesome! John, you could've hit me up for that original pitch deck design so Eurie wouldn't have to rely on your voiceover 🙂. Love the video, especially the lessons you incorporate in there - entertaining and informative. You are indeed your own customer - a true creator at heart! Wishing you and Forerunner Ventures tons of success. Stan could shake up the creator market! P.S. John asking Eurie about her thought on the last slide... Eurie: I mean, I would end it with a little more aspirational than a picture of yourself. 💥🤣
cheers! and thanks for the kind words! this was definitely one of my favorite videos I've made so far... so I'm trying to brainstorm more fun ones to do like this if you ever have suggestions!!
lmaoo; a dose of reality in the beginning from the VC; careful man, if you get to Series B/C and stop delivering, you might get replaced! lmao 😂 (jk - let's hope that never happens lol)
Network bit by bit! It takes compounding and not giving up over time and you’ll build relationships! Promise! I have a video on how to get introduced to VCs if you check the channel
That $30K, is that money that your business made or is that money you made for your customers? Specifically, what what your actually revenue on those months?
After you get to be a billionaire people will come watch your videos to check the comments if anyone saw the future. Well, im literally that guy. Yes people in a few years, go and reply to me how right I am.
Hey @jayhoovy, Not sure if this is too personal, but I'm interested to hear what you've exchanged for the $5M investment. Great video by the way, and perfect timing! I'm about to step into my first couple of VC interviews 🤩
@@jayhoovy Congrats man, but I'm curious: how did you get $5M for 20% with only 25 beta users? Looking at popular media "VCs" like Shark Tank, they wouldn't have been nearly as generous right?
Drop a ❤ if you want Eurie in more videos!!! (She hates doing these lol)
yes jay we need more!
Eurie is amazing! Jayhoovy, thanks for sharing and being willing to make fun of yourself.
Great vid!! I want more insight!
❤ Great video! Thanks for sharing the BTS.
❤
Pretty uncommon to see such chill healthy and fun relationship between founder and VC.
It's a new century bro keep up
@@EbrahimTarzz It has nothing to do with what century we're in lol
Not too uncommon actually.
If you have a friendly relationship with your VC it means they like you a lot, but they give up on you becoming a unicorn.
It's a youtube-video. Who know's how they are off camera.

Also get a Stanford GSB MBA for that "warm intro"

5:26 Eurie's point here about solving an actual customer's problem is invaluable-- shoutout to her for joining these videos!
What can I say... Excellent Content. We are doing an angel raise now and will be looking for VC funding in 6 months so this is super helpful. Keep on doing what you've been doing.
Best of luck! Let me know how it goes Sak!
Such a helpful Video! Breaks down both the deck and the vc meeting like never before. Thank you Jay and Thank you Eurie!!

Omg love Eurie - please have more content with her!
This is so good!! Your and your VC's interactions felt like a TV show haha, I would pay for a reality show between you and your meetings with Eurie
John, this was my first piece of content of yours and I enjoyed it but Eurie?! Golden. Loved. Obsessed.

Some of the best advice I’ve seen so far in easing koney

You’re a legend. Stan is a unicorn in the next couple years
Hahaha thank you James! I think so too if we keep sticking to our values and mission
You’re an inspiration dude! Love the recent vids.
cheers! and thanks for the kind words! this was definitely one of my favorite videos I've made so far... so I'm trying to brainstorm more fun ones to do like this if you ever have suggestions!!
Great content and dialogue, thank you for sharing this and for your useful tips!
I’m ex-IB. When I saw your slides, I was like ‘what are you doing?, you’re IB’ then you mentioned your VP 😂
have to stick it to the man and make them roll in their grave ;)
Awesome and heartwarming video!
And as usual, the video was invaluable as well.
Absolutely loved this!!! So fun to see one of our clients :)
Great content as always, keep it up Jay!
Some amazing insights here! Thanks guys
cheers David! Thanks for watching and supporting!!
I'm curious Jay - Did you give a live pitch? Or was it pre-recorded?
Great video, after Graham Weaver interview, this didn’t disappoint! Well done.
Glad you enjoyed it doziee! Gonna do my best to keep it coming for ya!
Your videos have so much value. Keep it up!
Ahh! Thank you so much for the kind words! Hoping to get you to change your username one day to "nowanexpert" :)
Great vid! And incredible thumbnail 😂
I somehow found this and didn’t expect to enjoy it!
same :)
Can’t stop watching man!! Awesome job on Stan👏👏
Thank you so much for the kind words and support Aiden!!
I think it'd be fun to make a video on slide design principles or what you learned about making good slides haha
Is this a seed funding round that you raised 5M?
❤. More Eurie!
ill let her know Aaron! Thanks for tuning in!
liked so that Eurie does more of these lmao
Same Nathan, same. #BringEurieBack
Very insightful for everyone trying to make it happen! like me :)
Jay, would you mind explaning the $30k GMV from 25 beta testers? I assumed you hadn't built a platform at that point?
lmaoo; a dose of reality in the beginning from the VC; careful man, if you get to Series B/C and stop delivering, you might get replaced! lmao 😂
(jk - let's hope that never happens lol)
Hahahah truly if it happens, we can look back and see that this was the sign
daaaaaaamn, jesus, some sharp zingers there at the end, LOL! something more aspirational than a picture of yourself - daaaaaamnnn lmao!
Hahaha I got the roast 😳🔥
I swear I got the slide order wrong 🤦🏻 hahahaha
Dropping a ♥ (Sorry Eurie 😂)
But super insightful video for aspiring founders!
Hahahah love it!!! Pile on the likes to get her in another video!!!

Am I the only one who didn’t find any of those slides ugly…

After you get to be a billionaire people will come watch your videos to check the comments if anyone saw the future. Well, im literally that guy. Yes people in a few years, go and reply to me how right I am.
manifesting that you're right so I can take all the funds and focus on philanthropy + climate change
im confused. how is it an ugly pitch? to me the graphics and layout looks good.
She's so feminine...I love it 💞
is she looking to invest another 5 mil anytime soon?👀... asking for a friend loll 😄
Hey @jayhoovy, Not sure if this is too personal, but I'm interested to hear what you've exchanged for the $5M investment. Great video by the way, and perfect timing! I'm about to step into my first couple of VC interviews 🤩
$5M at 25M pre money valuation
@@jayhoovy Congrats man, but I'm curious: how did you get $5M for 20% with only 25 beta users? Looking at popular media "VCs" like Shark Tank, they wouldn't have been nearly as generous right?
