The 3 Laws that Rule Silicon Valley

KEY SOURCES:
The Power Law by Sebastian Mallaby

ABOUT JOHN COOGAN:

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.

Clever merging of the history of Silicon Valley and Peter Thiel’s Zero to One observations in a video. Good take.

[neanda]

Your research and the way you frame it is next level, I always look forward to your videos. Just one thing, what's with that button tapping sfx? it's very distracting and overused

[brandonemmanuel]

Don't forget to mention those discoveries you made and their stories were all extracted from this book:

"The Power Law: Venture Capital and the Making of the New Future"

keep making these kind of videos john (its relatively fresh when compared to your other videos) i liked it !

[newmankramer]

John, the videos are got a lot better. Pacing, movie visuals, and duration is just perfect.

Ps. Wow, now I realize potential of YC and I have a hunch that combination of Network (users) and VC (80/20) will make YC the most valuable Accelerator and Company in the world. I thought PG retired, nope he is probably master planning the whole thing.

Great video, as always! But what’s with the clicking sound that syncs with the screen text?

[DeGoya]

[soccermatrix]

Please remove the "Key press" sound effect plaid anytime you switch on-screen text or images... it's triggering something and I wasn't able to finish your video. Thank you.
