What other topics should I make shorts about?

[JusdoinstuF]

could you do a deeper dive into this topic, where the money goes specifically.

[urbanleung]

No doubt, laying down is the best way to produce ideas. :)

[ONTHEPASSWITHMAX]

I'd love to see one about where/how to find initial investors for a project like this.

[dejrand]

Hard to get venture capital nowadays tho. Back then you can raise on an idea nowadays you need a ton of traction. Been bootstrapping since the start

[BlunderB]

How come I just found this channel now?? I have been following you since justin TV and your snapchat shenanigans. Love any content we can get from you!!

[Raptorstdot]

Damn it's so crazy to see how VCs make money. I hear most of the companies they invested fails but a few winners that blows up gives them a positive profit throughout the whole portfolio.

[Ajaxx]

Really inspiring honestly and I dig the nonchalant demeanor you always have

[KismetBP]

This is the very same reason that people have trouble succeeding on future projects after big successes. They don’t do as crazy things as they use to and don’t have the same all or nothing drive as they do when they had nothing. ❤️🤙

[aryanj]

whats your advice to someone in their teens who is looking to start their own company?

[_zeketorres]

I love the honesty here. It take so much time and money to build something great. How did you convince VCs to give you money, being pre-revenue? This is something huge for me right now as a startup that I'm trying to figure out.

[joeygarcia]

Seems like the more companies you build, the better you'd get at "burning money". I know you can eliminate some burned money, but I would suspect that some of that was trying to get to market ASAP and a lot of code or ideas was thrown away. Finding a pace, and some check points (learned from experience) would be a good thing.

[DamirbekSydykov]

Hey Justin, if back then there were AWS, Azure or GCP around, how much would you have saved on infrastructure from $45M?

[andrewdddo]

could you do an understanding of how you do market research?

[JD-ffek]

Could you have another video to tell how it has been built with technical in details?

[unabuenasemana]

For 4 years we haven't taken any capital for our business (not this channel) I think it might be time to grow the team.

[justlearnteam]

Happy to see that Twitch became successful

[alfredodavila]

Yeah very awesome for you, while many other businesses didn’t make it with also big amounts of investment.

[roaringkittygmegamestop]

J.K. heard that you were involved with Theta and TFuel coins? Could Theta and TFuel be used in near future to pay for our groceries and charge our electric cars and pay other bills? or will coins like XLM or XRP or BCH or XRB be more likely used to pay day to day bills?

[joecod]

Why is it an necessary part of a tech startup? I can’t understand it. I’m sure I can create a clone of twitch(At least the app and website) with less than $2k
