    Amazing pitch advice and a lot of valuable information about how to actually run your business (especially the photography example about not showing everything you have shot but only show the 3 best pictures). Keep the pitch and how you communicate to other people short and to the point.

    12:48 Brendan talks about one of his experiences while a Brazillian startup was making a pitch. Until the very end of the presentation, he was unsure if the company is real and actively running. When he saw that more than 75% of the Brazillian e-commerce companies use their software and their revenue was in the millions.
    This is interesting because I tend to believe that what they say is true until the opposite is said or I found it out. People are generally underestimating startup businesses. When they show their vision and conceptual work (or work in development) they are usually not got interested. I think this is the lowest point of cost where an investor can join a startup and invest.
    Pre-angel investors will be the future. Note this.

    • @djpete2009
      @djpete2009 Před 6 měsíci

      I agree. I am a startup and I know we will do great with our solution. And this is our weakest moment for a sharp investor to join something that will be massive. Bootstrapping at the moment but needing to scale exponentially. We just need to find the funds!

  • @annecardosalifeweightcoach1350

    2:56 - wrong. VCs/angels don't care about passion
    7:05 - LOL! VCs/angels BELIEVE they know "how the world is changing" just because they read some trendy articles etc
    9:54 - "investors are smart" LOOOL they Don't know anything about science, tech, not even what the market wants. All they know is some number crunching, some business & legal stuff, and what the best luxury brands/clubs are
    10:08 - ?????? "it's stupid to invest at seed stage...most of them fail" correlation != causation. You said you were "smart" LOL
    I'll summarize my counterargument as: you VCs/angels deliberately chose red flag startups, again and again, then when they failed... you become bitter and wonder "where are all the good startups?"
    You passed on them.
    10:24 - "they want excitement and intuition" guess why your portfolio is failing
    10:35 - just like dating women LMAO
    14:44 - the dime a dozen red flag filled, but funded, startup
    14:51 - STOP lying
    15:46 - that's not a laser LMAO; told you VCs/angels don't know anything about science etc
    16:33 - the only sensible, useful chapter of your presentation
