VC call gone badly (Ep. 4)

Day in the Life of an MIT Startup Founder. This is episode #4

▬ In this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
This is the third day of our startup trip to Miami. My friend and co-founder Emily Mu and I are staying at our third co-founder's apartment for a week to develop a working prototype of our startup. Our startup is a legal tech company making lawyers more productive using large language models (LLMs), such as GPT-4 and ChatGPT. We haven't raised any money yet and are actively talking to VCs and law firms.

In this episode, we continue on our startup hack week, where we have a call with a VC and hurry to finish our Delta v application. In between, we enjoy the nice weather and the pool

I worked at a VC last year and spoke with the founder of Scrintal (she is incredibly likeable and you can listen to her all day long). her business model had us analysts directly gripped, but the partners were of a different opinion. Nice to see that they are doing ads, that is a good indicator for growth ambitions at first glance.

Hello brother can everyone invest in your company and if so what will be the minimum start up capital.

Morgen. Samuel, what are you doing to not be replaced by AI in the next years? Is there any way?And how does it compare to work in Miami vs Boston and NYC? 🤔

Isn’t it super cozy sharing a bed with another guy ☺️

Jaja wahrscheinlich hilft die Kissenbarrikade

Coding is actually easy 😃. I could have given y’all free resources to quickly learn how to do front end web development. Make sure the people you hire know how to prioritize security, easy scalability, build a fault tolerant website/infrastructure, and can quickly pivot your needs in a good timeline fashion. Good luck finding a good webdev!
