I’m looking for something to venture into on a short term basis, I really need to create an alternate source of income, what do you thing I should be buying?
Success is not built on success. It's built on failure, It's built on fraustration. it's built on fear that you have to overcome. I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life
More like both. Sure you learn from mistakes and failures to make better things, but it’s with every small successful thing you achieve that builds momentum for more successful steps later on because it brings more and more confidence.
This bro exactly knows what he's doing and what he's talking about. These are very impressive words to hear from such a younger person. As someone who deep dives into this industry, I can feel the every value he can provide since his teenage days. Congratulations bro you're amazing.
If I had 10 million dollars I would have invested with him in couple years gap 1 million I would have invested in him with million then fail after couple of year then stars again fail losing another million doing this 10 times after 1.5 decades become a billionaire.
Love how Samir emphasizes the importance of learning from failures. It's not about how many times you fall, but how many times you get back up and keep pushing forward.
I understand your point of view but it is very common to glorify failures process and everybody telling that is the part of the journey but... I think that we should work toward something and avoiding failures at all cost, do not think about them even. Most of the failures cost the time and money which is fundamental especially in the tough times. The modern thinking injecting this type to be soft and rely on it like nothing happening " that's okey I lost 700K, its the part of the process..., or its the price for lesson" Business is 0-1 game.
such an astronomically flourishing and sophisticated guy, who dropped off genuinely mesmerizing perceptions and remarkable speech.As I am programmer who still trying to see light in tunnel , I think i should literally single out to this guy
Impressive stuff. You can tell he's watched many interviews of the top 10 richest men in the world though, this interview is a regurgitation of all their go to answers.

You're right! I've been in touch with a financial advisor ever since I started my business. Knowing today's culture, The challenge is knowing when to purchase or sell when investing in trending stocks, which is pretty simple. On my portfolio, which has grown over $900k in a little over a year, my adviser chooses entry and exit orders.
Nicole Anastasia Plumlee is the licensed advisor I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
Thank you so much for your helpful tip! I was able to verify the person and book a call session with her. She seems very proficient and I'm really grateful for your guidance
9:01 “The right people that are thinking about solving the right customer problems, operating at the right speed, is what makes companies grow and scale faster.” Incredibly insightful quote for a 23 year old.
I clicked on this video expecting to feel validated for my cynical anti-startup sentiments, but this dude was actually dropping gems. Much respect to Samir and I wish his company the best!
What I have learned from this young dude is that, as long as you give something of value, the world will reward you for it. Age is just a number and tech has really revolutionized the world. Young guys are doing bug things because they are taking the leap of faith and doing the unthinkable.

I wouldn't go those middle countries they are dangerous. I have heard of Jerusalem, Baghdad, takrit, erbil, Damascus, beirut, Riyadh. Beijing, Pakistan, Tehran Afghanistan, tajikistan, kazhakstan, Uzbekistan. Hong kong, Vietnam. Moscow, St Petersburg, Berlin, London, Paris, USA!!!
I am surprised by the fact that he was consulting Investment banks at such a young age. At that age even our families don't take us seriously. Moreover, machine learning is such a deep subject. TBH, I am finding it hard to believe in his story. Having a 1B startup at 23 is believable because there are a lot of such cases now and really irrational valuations and pump and dump schemes and so on. Not saying his startup is not good.
finally.. someone with some sense. After building an app and getting into grad, they start to get paid 500-1000 dollars per hour to give their AI knowledge to top consultant companies... The companies that continuously hire the top talent in academics suddenly wanted to get prep talk from two guys who crashed into machine learning a year ago. And its not like this happened in 2010s, in a time era maybe companies didnt know much about machine learnings capabilities... Its in 2020s. Thats bizarre. Not saying they are lying, but there are some missing pieces here.
Yeah, like how was it possible to learn those topics and code them at that level in a year for major banks who literally rejecting some ivy leaguers with PHDs, I’m not saying it’s impossible, but must be a genius.
So, who incorporated the "consulting" business? Who provided the service agreements and contracts for the consulting business? Who provided liability protection if the 14 year olds AI advice hurt a Goldman client? How was the 14 year old able to attend school and also give investment banking presentations at the same time? Sounds like an Elon Musk story. So many missing details. The answer is that there are people behind the scenes pulling the strings.
whatever you think of...really doesn't matter. If you can just reflect back at the opportunities that you could have turned into business. But this mindset would really not gonna help you to start something great.
i was spellbound untill he said , they were offering consultancy to great Banks at 14, chargin 500-1000€. At 14 without external support you can't just do that. That seems very irrealistic to me or at least the story is not complete or rather embellished. It is important to be transparent with people so that they have realistic expectations
Remember, he mentioned an investment banker who was their mentor after their first failed startup. I suspect he was the one who got them access to banks
It's not always what you know; but who you know and how you learned it. Educational is the key, but school systems are the locked up. That's another reason the added security lock is called a deadbolt
Summary: Samir Vasavada, co-founder and CEO of Vise, dropped out of high school to pursue his passion for technology and building things. He and his co-founder initially started building apps, but after consulting with large investment banks on AI and machine learning, they saw an opportunity to build technology to automate the investment workflows for financial advisors. They built their first prototype at 15 and, after being advised by Jamie Dimon to look at the independent financial advisor market, discovered a massive market they could serve. Vise now helps advisors build personalized portfolios, manage those portfolios, and explain them. Vasavada believes that the right people who are thinking about solving the right customer problems and operating at the right speed are what make companies grow and scale faster. He also believes that the smartest people don't necessarily have to go to the best universities to be successful.
With that level of dedication this startup demands from their employess, they better get some incentive. Too many companies nowadays expect emloyees to go over the moon for the company when they get nothing from the companies success.
I cant wrap my head around how a kid in his age knows so much about tech and programming and all of that stuff. I am at 35 and I dont know s**t. Even if I wanted to learn programming or what so ever I dont think I could do it without guidance and money spending to learn it and years.
These stories all sound great - but after SBF, Elizabeth Holmes and Charlie Jevice - very skeptical when seeing a young startup founder claiming success

I work at a large engineering company. I did not go t a fancy college like most ppl around me. Yet I stay at the office til the job is done and I’m always wanting to learn from ppl around me and I’m great to work with at submittal or deadline times. I’m alway try to stay humble. Anything can b learned by anyone on earth. Who are u on the inside this is what matters in any company on earth
I realized that the secret to making a million is saving for a better investment. I always tell myself you don't need that new Maserati or that vacation just yet. That mindset helped me make more money investing. For example last year I invested 80k in stocks and made about $246k,but guess what? I put it all back and traded again and now I am rounding up close to a million
I didn't become financially independent till I was 40 ,in addition to buying my second house, I'm also making money on a monthly basis through passive income, and I've also met some of my goals. I really hope this motivates someone to know that it doesn't matter if you don't have any of these things yet; no matter your age, you can start today. Investing can help you change your future! By participating in the financial market, I took a significant decision.
what i want to know is, how tf did you learn the nitty gritty details of asset management, portfolio optimisation processes and investment advisory to be able to identify EXACTLY where the inefficiencies to exploit were, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME LEARNING THE MACHINE LEARNING KNOWLEDGE AND MEGAPLATFORM-TECHNOLOGIES TO PRODUCE A PRODUCT?!?!? bro, i study both of these areas purely because i love them, and i'm not even close. AND I'M THIS DUDES AGE. i so badly wanna work these guys man
Some humans are meant to excel much faster than others. He is probably in the upper echelon percentile of IQs. It's like asking how Newton was able to invent differential calculus at 26, whilst most that age today can't do basic arithmetic.
Immensely inspirational. Talking to customers is the job of the founder Create a small team of top performers Being at the top is a lonely process Never give up and follow your passion
Well done. Sounds easy in hindsight but this was incredibly difficult to evolve. It wasn’t an invention. It was Chaos stumbling towards a desire. The goal eventually defined itself. Not the stuff taught in business school. You can’t think out of the box. The box will always be lingering and hindering your thinking. I dropped out after the 10th grade and created many businesses all of which I walked away from. Left millions on the table and didn’t care. A different mindset. Glad that I never went to school. Well done!
Excellent comment. I really enjoyed reading it. I surely would love to hear your story more in-depth. I like how you said, chaos, stumbling towards a desire. 👌Accurate way to frame it.
Indians are so smart, strugglers, and own the highest number of startups in the USA with the highest income ethnicity and 100+ unicorns in India which is 3rd in the world. The future is of Asians
Don’t be fooled by his “success story”. His proximity to the upper echelons was foundational to his success. He would’ve ended up successful wether he was a high school dropout or not. But one thing for sure is none of this is happening without access to wealth and connections. Him being a brainiac was just the icing that allowed him to build the business. If you don’t have access to wealth, DO NOT DROP OUT OF SCHOOL.
@@kelvinedionwe I'm not downplaying his struggles by any means. I'm just saying it comes across as dishonest if he doesn't fully credit his angel investors and his proximity to wealth to his success. Often these success stories like to talk about their struggles and how they bootstrapped and made happen but the reality is, no one is funding a high school dropout to start a business😂😂😂. I'm no pessimist but lets at least be honest... I'm sure we all have brilliant startup ideas, but not the significant wealth to fund it. That was the catalyst to his success.
He got the angel investors backing because of his past track record that was self built and worked hard at. The proximity to wealth you are referring to in his case makes 100% sense. If anything, this interview of his journey to get to those connections has been downplayed and omitted to focus on even further down the path because the journey was so long.
is anyone else tired of this story. drop out becomes billionaire startup ceo, money seemingly coming from nowhere. later... loses all its market cap overnight.
Wow, that's a truly inspiring story! Starting a company at 13, overcoming failures and challenges, and then building a billion-dollar business by 23 is no small feat. Samir's determination and resilience are truly remarkable. It's also pretty amazing that he was able to bootstrap his business before getting funding from some of the biggest names in venture capital. It really shows that with hard work, passion, and persistence, anything is possible. This is a great example of how grit and perseverance can pay off in a big way! 💪
Samir vasavada I like to create one of a kind products I like to keep items secured and I am a pen and note book 78 year old my question to you is could I trade you my product ideas and in 6 months earn a billion dollars let's make a deal resp I am the thinker you do the product Manufacture and sales let me know what's possible I lack compu skills I like pen and paper and hardcopies response asap god bless
He is a child prodigy,bound to suceed no matter what. Look at his history,was taking University level classes by the age of 12. I bet his parents are geniuses working as professors at top universities,high IQ runs in families. Edit:And look at the opportunities he got when he was just 12,his parents set him up with a summer program at a top CS School. How could one even get that on their own? This is called privilege my friend,no 12 year old is getting something like that unless his parents are well connected to the CS academic industry.
"Lived in a place called Tenderloin" - Won me here! IT startup folks go to Sand Hill Road Palo Alto, not Tenderloin San Francisco. He found love in a hopeless place? :) Samir will go places!

At such an young age he has so much wisdom and courage to follow his passion at any cost and worked hard. Inspirational person already.
one thing I can say for sure is that never ignore that hunger that calling that forces you to look unreasonable in the eyes of the society

I didn't become financially independent till I was 40 ,in addition to buying my second house, I'm also making money on a monthly basis through passive income, and I've also met some of my goals. I really hope this motivates someone to know that it doesn't matter if you don't have any of these things yet; no matter your age, you can start today. Investing can help you change your future! By participating in the financial market, I took a significant decision.
I can feel the passion in building something better for the world through your words. Thanks for inspiring me. ❤
what i want to know is, how tf did you learn the nitty gritty details of asset management, portfolio optimisation processes and investment advisory to be able to identify EXACTLY where the inefficiencies to exploit were, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME LEARNING THE MACHINE LEARNING KNOWLEDGE AND MEGAPLATFORM-TECHNOLOGIES TO PRODUCE A PRODUCT?!?!? bro, i study both of these areas purely because i love them, and i'm not even close. AND I'M THIS DUDES AGE. i so badly wanna work these guys man
i guess theyre just built different
you dont need to know everything, you can build a well rounded great team
Some humans are meant to excel much faster than others. He is probably in the upper echelon percentile of IQs. It's like asking how Newton was able to invent differential calculus at 26, whilst most that age today can't do basic arithmetic.
@@purpleey he's a bullsht artist
Moral of the story: If u believe u can bring a change, go for it.
I wish him all the happiness, success & prosperity 🎉 seems hardcore genuine
I love seeing immigrants changing the world! ❤
Congratulations & thank you!
Wow! What a guy. I am like I have listended to 10 successful founders at one go. So wise!
Man he's immensely knowledgeable....great guy to look upto and excited to see what he builds in the future....!!
"I really didn't give my parents a choice" -- Uno reverse in action there 😎
Immensely inspirational.
Talking to customers is the job of the founder
Create a small team of top performers
Being at the top is a lonely process
Never give up and follow your passion
Every word has a strong meaning, I can feel it 🙌
Felt that too.
Well done. Sounds easy in hindsight but this was incredibly difficult to evolve. It wasn’t an invention. It was Chaos stumbling towards a desire. The goal eventually defined itself. Not the stuff taught in business school. You can’t think out of the box. The box will always be lingering and hindering your thinking. I dropped out after the 10th grade and created many businesses all of which I walked away from. Left millions on the table and didn’t care. A different mindset. Glad that I never went to school. Well done!
Excellent comment. I really enjoyed reading it. I surely would love to hear your story more in-depth. I like how you said, chaos, stumbling towards a desire. 👌Accurate way to frame it.

That was just pure gold....
This interview is one for the vault - Valuable💯
I don't say this often enough, but this is truly inspiring!
Forcing your employees working constantly in the "Start up" mode is something every CEO dreams about. I wonder how much he pays them...
Smart people speak these way
Indians are so smart, strugglers, and own the highest number of startups in the USA with the highest income ethnicity and 100+ unicorns in India which is 3rd in the world. The future is of Asians
Super duper session.
Thanks EO team.
When I almost hear myself say "I can't"...I will instead hear "I was sleeping on a dorm floor to make sure our business didn't fail"
I was having a really expensive brunch..now I'm depressed by watching this
so much startup wisdom
So honestly well said Samir, it's all about building the stuff
Don’t be fooled by his “success story”. His proximity to the upper echelons was foundational to his success. He would’ve ended up successful wether he was a high school dropout or not. But one thing for sure is none of this is happening without access to wealth and connections. Him being a brainiac was just the icing that allowed him to build the business.
If you don’t have access to wealth, DO NOT DROP OUT OF SCHOOL.
You didn't watch the part where his parents are low class immigrants right?
Or the part where he stole buffet just to eat.
@@kelvinedionwedon't believe everything..
@@kelvinedionwe I'm not downplaying his struggles by any means. I'm just saying it comes across as dishonest if he doesn't fully credit his angel investors and his proximity to wealth to his success. Often these success stories like to talk about their struggles and how they bootstrapped and made happen but the reality is, no one is funding a high school dropout to start a business😂😂😂. I'm no pessimist but lets at least be honest... I'm sure we all have brilliant startup ideas, but not the significant wealth to fund it. That was the catalyst to his success.
He got the angel investors backing because of his past track record that was self built and worked hard at. The proximity to wealth you are referring to in his case makes 100% sense. If anything, this interview of his journey to get to those connections has been downplayed and omitted to focus on even further down the path because the journey was so long.
Preach. Classic survivorship bias lol
is anyone else tired of this story. drop out becomes billionaire startup ceo, money seemingly coming from nowhere. later... loses all its market cap overnight.
If you're tired why watch it? Do something else. Hating won't help
exactly @@cavallis9140
Not the last part. Rest of it yes.
Another indian being so successful, so proud!
What a visionary young man he is
Great story but it’s really hard for me to trust someone who doesn’t blink. 😣
Am really motivated by your story buddy thanks a lot and success as your scale and maintain your company ...good luck
Loved every bit of this interview
born to rich parents thats it how did bro move to san fransisco
Wow, that's a truly inspiring story! Starting a company at 13, overcoming failures and challenges, and then building a billion-dollar business by 23 is no small feat. Samir's determination and resilience are truly remarkable. It's also pretty amazing that he was able to bootstrap his business before getting funding from some of the biggest names in venture capital. It really shows that with hard work, passion, and persistence, anything is possible. This is a great example of how grit and perseverance can pay off in a big way! 💪
Samir vasavada I like to create one of a kind products I like to keep items secured and I am a pen and note book 78 year old my question to you is could I trade you my product ideas and in 6 months earn a billion dollars let's make a deal resp I am the thinker you do the product Manufacture and sales let me know what's possible I lack compu skills I like pen and paper and hardcopies response asap god bless
HOLD ON! TRADITIONAL INDIAN FAMILY! HE DID NOT DROP OUT!!! He advanced at 14 to NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY!!!!
He is a child prodigy,bound to suceed no matter what.
Look at his history,was taking University level classes by the age of 12.
I bet his parents are geniuses working as professors at top universities,high IQ runs in families.
Edit:And look at the opportunities he got when he was just 12,his parents set him up with a summer program at a top CS School. How could one even get that on their own? This is called privilege my friend,no 12 year old is getting something like that unless his parents are well connected to the CS academic industry.
truuu he was made by his parents
at that age we cant think of that
This was the comment I was looking for.
COPE this is what losers do always
@@vinaypalwe lol where's your $1 billion company?
The part about investment banks hiring 13 year olds to consult on ML is hillarious
No wonder they go bankrupt. They care only about commissions.
Rmb Richie Rich with Macaulay Culkin? They got kids to test their candy products. I really love that part of the movie
Also charging them "$500-$1000/hour"... lmfao
Yeah something is not correct here.
Thats why he became billionaire he can convince people
"Lived in a place called Tenderloin" - Won me here! IT startup folks go to Sand Hill Road Palo Alto, not Tenderloin San Francisco. He found love in a hopeless place? :) Samir will go places!
i teared up watching this. The confidence is commendable
Amazing interview. Truly inspiring!
Kudos brother.Keep getting 1% better everyday 😊
Good founder. Charisma and resilience.
Passion can also be felt via voice. A confident young GenZ can have a profound impact on this planet. 🎉
hes a scam artist
