    ABOUT JOHN COOGAN:
    I am the co-founder of soylent.com and lucy.co, both of which were funded by Y Combinator (Summer 2012 and Winter 2018).
    I've been an entrepreneur for the last decade across multiple companies. I've done a lot of work in Silicon Valley, so that's mostly what I talk about. I've raised over 10 rounds of venture capital totaling over $100m in funding.
    I work mostly in tech-enabled consumer packaged goods, meaning I use software to make the best products possible and then deliver them to the widest possible audience. I'm a big fan of machine learning, python programming, and motion graphics.

    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.
