I like the way he speaks. So clear and on point. Loving the videos!

[cayahere]

It's quite insane to see so many views in such a short amount of time! Thanks all for watching. This is one of my favorite videos so far.
I'll be around today to answer any questions you have.

Have just one comment. Also did start a company 10 years ago... we did a 50/50 we agreed to not pay each other a salary for a year. The year past. He had more savings, what we did was we kept the 50/50 but I really needed a small salary to survive so we gave me a small salary and he took the same salary as a debt in the company. So when we finally got the funds we paid out his open standing salary. The relationship is just super important. Like a real relationship it's giving and it's not always that straight. You just can't measure everything with each other. Like I made more hours but that didn't make me demand more salary or more stake. He was more lean with taking debts and giving me a salary

Great videos. You mentioned becoming a dad 6 months into starting Slidebean. You also mention spending 24/7 working / with cofounders. Have you considered making a video on your / your partners experience balancing startup life with starting a family / keeping a healthy life balance? I’m sure you’d do an awesome video on it

Smaller, speculative stocks have endured a historically weak stretch. Investors are betting that a turnaround is finally in the works. I’ve lost about $320k within a few months, how do i take advantage of the market turnaround?

I find his thoughts well organised and delivered. Also the fact that he does not dwell on theories but uses real examples to drive the point home. 👍🏼

Working on a startup by myself, I was feeling drained till I came across your videos! The clarity and preciseness in each video came as a breath of fresh air. I not only subscribed but started saving videos to my list to watch again if need be. Thank you for your time and effort!

I am second year into a food industry startup. When we started, I put down $6k and my partner has since done all groundwork. We split 80-20 to me. I run data analysis and fundraising and have gained fair value equity for additional cash investments.
This has worked for us and we have both forgone any salary.

Just embarking on an app startup and this channel is a real substance / value filled place for me. Thank you so much for those videos.

Setting a salary bench mark and Preparing an Aggreement is my take home from this . Great Content.

[horg]

So happy to have found this channel right now. Amazing content. One of the most valuable channels for entrepreneurs by FAR.

[Coopercaroline]

Best Channel, content in category and best Startup support Startup ❤️
You made a drastic changes in our Startups ❤️
Thanks a lot 🌷

I don't agree with the idea of 50/50 equity. My previous startup actually failed due to the founders conflict. Because, everyone had the authority over everyone. So, I think if there are two founders it should be 51/49 not 50/50. Personal opinion. 😊

[chidi]

Wow thank you so much.
I really needed this information, and you delivered it well.

[toblerusseta]

Your channel is excellent. A lot of useful videos. You deserve more subs.

This is helping me tremendously heading into the early stages of my tech business.

[MsShorta]

Man you are soooo helping us! God bless you! Your office hours too! Very nice!
