What Investors Look For in Startup Founders from Former YC Partner

So where’s the rest?

You two are wonderful, thankyou for sharing

I totally agree with the part about startups founders who know a great deal about the problem they are fixing i.e. industry experts at the helm of the entrepreneur journey

The water he drinks is smart too :D

You fake pro

there is no subtitle

Thank you for having me on. Your subscribers are the people who can go on to create everything we use the next 20 years. I’m not different than anyone watching this. We are the same. I’m just you from the future. :-)

Great interview 👍

What if I’m not smart enough to build any kind of software, but I want to have a start up?

That was a great interview Joma!!

Very enlightening! Great interview!

Gary is an absolute stud! I can listen to him speak for hours and his insights aren't sugarcoated at all unlike most other "inspirational" investors and founders.

I need these types of investors for my startup.

Wow, the best one ever! Deliver more like this!

For any engineers (especially those with React| Node xp) who are passionate about the creator economy, would love to chat with ya, hit me up on twitter at @mrcasualhipster

Need Gary 11

A fancy degree from a token Ivy league school.

I had a course taught by VCs last semester and you know what ? They are among those who tick boxes! They were arrogant, focus on finance and they're not able to write a line of code ! haha

Tan is awesome, so humble.

Most VC look for a nice team and selling competence. Often the product isn't interesting at all. If you want to burn millions of dollars, choose some random people failed at high positions in banks, IT companies etc., make a pitch with blockchain, ai, data science and ask a economist to write a completely faked income prediction for you.

What is shipping

Sir can I get admission in Stanford University with my computer science skills only without complete school

Thanks Joma! Just what I needed!From India 🇮🇳

When he pointed to the camera, you could tell this guy knows what he is talking about and who he's talking to. In that moment, I was sold. I don't know what I bought, but I am sold.

Garry your portfolio is nothing to brag about - coinbase? instacart?
No one has heard of these "startups" outside of your limited ecosystem

Aha. Mcdonald's or any other cashier's job is really tough. I've Tried that and wanted to quit after 1 day.

Computer related stuff was more suitable for me. I Couldn't handle the physical labor.

Fremont. Been there numerous times and worked with someone there.

Why am I bothered that the water bottle cap is on the table 😭

Garry Tan: You need to know something weird and special and different from everyone else who's a great engineer.
Jomo Tech (totally misunderstanding him): Yeah, like try and find inefficiencies in the world...
Garry Tan (with a low energy voice): Right.

One of these has 0 to 1 thinking and the other does not.

What a wow person

When Joma is listening he looks as tho he wants to punch someone in the face. LOL

A fascinating interview. Thanks!

Wow

Thus channel is so good! Garry Tan seems like a really genuine geezer

"What Investors Look For in Startup Founders from Former YC Partner" uhm... money

Cheers for sharing!

The iteration part is so insightful, although I kinda curious how to be good at it like knowing what fit's to the market needs and start built it

So good!

Meat content, lovely

Why don't you make interviews with whites?

How can someone present their startup to initialized?
