I’m a one person team so far. A couple of friends helping (as much as they can) and this video provided some realism to me. I did meet with an angel, first investor I have ever met, and she absolutely loved my idea, and said I was to early, but on the right track. Glad to have some next steps due to your videos, and excited to see where this goes

“Most ideas are worthless without execution.” Love it

The only person Youtube who gets straight to the point and I love it!!!

I have taken lots of notes from your video. This is the first time I've posts comment on YT. Fantastic content. I've already made the error of sending a slide deck as an attachment. I'll look into how to track and remove access to my slide deck.
My main take aways were:
*Insight into the slide deck content (mine is too complicated and graphically rich)
*The importance of the story of the company (mine is too detailed regarding the problem I'm solving and how I'm seeking to solve.
* Number of investment required pitches to achieve funding.
* Sharing deck as a link to track views and remove access.

Great work 👌
Thank you

Great video, actually the difference between Convertible Notes, Safes and equity rounds will be excellent. at the begining its difficult to pay for a good legal advice

Bro - I came across your content via Nexford University (I'm doing a BBA with a specialization in Entrepreneurship), and I must say - your channel is a Gold Mine! Excellent Information (backed with experience), delivered excellently!

[chrisrock]

The content you provide is a huge part of why your company is a success. Content is king.

[shaqmaverick]

Man I remember when I started out in late 2018 and looking back on this since as a source of knowledge.
I'm happy you guys are still going and thankful this content is evergreen for audiences online globally.
Took notes and applied them, cheers

This is one of my favorite videos so far. I've had trouble finding truly insightful materials that explain how fundraising really works.

I find so many companies with this idealistic (and mistaken) notion that they will get their 'ideas' funded, when in reality, most investors come when the business already has proof of traction. We didn't want to burst anybody's bubble, but rather help you to the point where you need to get!

[jewymchoser]

I watch all your videos multiple times. But this video speaks to me the most.

#1 Rule: Have some tractions before asking the seed fund.

[anish.wijesinghe]

This is some incredibly impressive content. Your precision as an entrepreneur and leader really comes out in your videos. Keep up the awesome work!

[nimdasdfsdfsd]

Watched most of your videos, Crisp to the point. No beating around the bush. No bla bla bla. Awesome! condensed Juice only.

[carlosandreschavezruiz]

Men, your videos are like gold, I feel how my learning curve goes up with each one of them .. Huge contribution to the startup ecosystem.

[isabellaarmond]

I believe that Bitcoin holds value as a form of 'good money' that is superior to any previously discovered or developed form of money.
The long term goal about trading here is majorly process oriented goal, protecting the trading capital, starting off with free cash and putting yourself in the right mindset to trade to the best of your ability as a business owner. Then for short term goals, monetary goal would only pressure you into trading too often or recklessly. . The process of ensuring huge wins/profit and experience got me the confidence of a true risk monitor/enterpreneur.

[Ibretly]

Excellent video. Hit all the high points that founders need to know. I am going to use it in an entrepreneurship class I teach.

Part of good biz startup plan IS having clients. Must

Great video Caya, we worked with Gilbert Corrales on Leaf who I believe has helped with Slide Bean. You are absolutely on the money and echo what a lot of the guests on our podcast say. Not to mention you have a great looking product.
