I would always have a huge respect for everyone that said no. Who I will never forget are the investors that have left my very short and polite inquiry as "seen". What are we on, Tinder? Do I get it, wow you're so important and busy to not have the time to press one button and send an automatically generated answer? That's so rude!

Did this happen 9 months ago or 9 years or more ago?

Such hidden gem on CZcams this is!

not the vibe..

You guys rock! 😊

"Startup founders role is only for broken people!" I am glad that other people are recognizing this truth.

Fantastic talk.

Truly great.

Ok, what are those questions?

Would've loved to see the slides

100% incorrect about KPIs. I guarantee KPIs are different at 50k, 5million, 500 million and 5 billion independent of industry. Software SASS people are hilarious. 0% need to have a technical co-founder ever.

Great video on cultivating a successful sales culture and building an efficient business! I really appreciated the insights on prioritizing team success and focusing on sustainable business growth. Definitely resonates with my approach as a leader.

Anish i love what you have said its close to being real and its actual

A founder’s founder!

So wonderfully practical. Thank you.

22:00 optionality of a bootstrapped company. Getting to stop at whichever time they wanted

Great video! It's so crucial to be open to the unexpected in VC pitching. Sometimes it's those unique encounters that leave a lasting impression. Embracing the unexpected can truly set you apart. Thanks for the insightful tips!

Not sure why I am listening yonthis

Solid session thank you

Yes to the pre-hire demo. Why is this so unusual for companies?

Such an excellent point about the mindset that increases the odds that the founder succeeds: They will figure out ways to make things happen. They will make progress with what they can make happen. They will look at the players and terrain of the market and use them to their advantage. They will adapt and switch tactics to make progress. They aren’t defeated just because they lack money or other resources. They look for the means to win, not excuses to stop.

You talk to my soul Jason ❤

Eff yeah ❤ you speak directly into my soul brother, so grateful for your content

Try this now with a high interest environment where no one buys anything :D They sold at the right time

Thank you Michael for value!

6 years, 4 comments. So underrated.

annoying interviewer. Keeps talking over jyoti. Plz listen to him. Dont keep talking over him.

90% of YC funded startups are US based. 90% male. Average age is now 30. 90% of startups are LLM/AI based. They are really only about a certain 'type' of founder.

Great insights shared in the video! Really enjoyed learning more about the journey to success in marketing. Looking forward to more content like this!

I'd love to join you all this year for the first time! Just have to drive across the bay from Oakland 😊

It's crazy how basically everything he says is just practical advice one learns from being a fairly senior engineer or engineering leader or manager of some type. I'm shocked at how down-to-earth all of the advice is. Basically Michael seems to say that the key to getting funding is just being very clear what problem is being solved and how the product solves it and what the problem intensity level is.

If cursing was < 2%, I could share this with my students. Instead I will recreate a youth friendly version.

Working on my own invention for the first time. Resources and help and finding people to help with the right path is tough. Your precise communication and very descriptive situations will help me and my company greatly. Just doing the pitch deck portion currently. Appreciate your video.

Great deep dive here!

True be positive

25:20 “what’s ICP?” Fascinating that he either never learned this one, or decided to clarify what it meant to the audience. 39:00 what a nice dude

In sales, there are two people playing the game, there is the salesman and the client/customer. You could be a really great salesman, but at the end of the day, it is the client that chooses. On the same token, if you are lazy and not hitting the pavement or phones and advertising the product you aren't going to get very far. Also, the last component is the product, some are so great it practically sells itself and others are just a bad product. As far as positivity, uplift and support eachother and they will want to work hard. Negativity just brings people down and can snowball down a bad road. Look at what the person is doing and see what can be suggested to improve. If they really aren't doing well overall, then maybe that is not the right line of work for them.
