How I'm Going to Build a Billion $ Company (Episode #1)

Two years ago, I dropped out of Stanford Business School to pursue my dreams of building a startup. And now, I have a team of 15 and a $25M valuation.

My goal? Take you along for the journey to show you that YOU CAN DO THIS TOO.

In this series. I will be documenting the full process of what it's like running a startup, and you'll get to watch live as I figure out how to get us from $25 Million to $1 Billion.

In this first episode, I talk about:

- Who I am
- What my company (Stan) is
- Our Current Financial Situation
- Meeting the Team
- How I'm going to get us to $1 Billion

as a fellow founder who raised a $2.5m pre-seed, I def appreciate the amount of transparency in your videos! hits home.

[shameerpatel]

Hope it works out for you guys. Immigrant kids with humble backgrounds tend to be the hardest working. Better than many lazy kids who grew up with silver spoon

[youshaei]

Dude this is awesome. Love when creator economy founders create content themselves 👏

[matthewymi]

This was great, the value in this is crazy. Can't wait to see how you all scale throughout this series!

[kevins]

I have a feeling that this kid is going somewhere, cheering and following you!

Jay, based on Revenue per creator it looks like $30 per user. I’d recommend increasing the price closer to $50 per customer. If you have confidence in your product quality, you shouldn’t see any issues with customer growth.

I'm usually a certified hater, but I actually genuinely wish you good luck, I hope your company does really well.

Hi Jay, I quit my 125k job to make content and I’m going to start using Stan. Can’t wait. Appreciate you for creating this 🙏❤️

[chaejeong]

The true value of Jay's videos is that a) he shows the growth journey and trajectory of a new creator (though he does have the advantage of being an established TikToker) b) can utilise his own content and growth to market Stan and c) gives the viewer a front seat on his progress to scaling Stan to unicorn status

[davidmputu]

Love this! As a fellow founder it’s nice to see someone showing the early beginnings of their success story and actually giving actionable tips. Please post as much as you can! 🙏🏿
