In my opinion, investors are contemporary sharecroppers. I’d avoid them as much as you can, retain as much equity as you can, and start reducing overhead as you scale. The need for investors is a red herring; they’re looking to profit off you. Unless you’re building something where you need a lot of capital from the getgo, I’d consider other options. Thanks for the video, and Love your channel 🙏
Exactly. Well at some point you’ll need a investment to grow but it’ll be better to focus on increasing the valuation as much as you can before getting the first investor , to make sure that the founder retain more equity
@@randomcomment7746 i self funded my development, and use the profits to self fund my other ventures. You definitely do not need investors. You need capital. Don’t let Wall Street conflate the two. Figure out the cheapest way to develop your product without ever compromising on quality. Basically, a SaaS is a function that you charge people for. It’s just some lines of code. Build it, and then maintain it appropriately. If you were building a building, you wouldn’t hire the construction workers to hang around once construction’s been completed. Construction workers, for the most part, should only be used if you’re implementing true innovation. Hopefully, you’ve got creative enough architects to allow for that. I find it best to hire great developers on contract, that way you only pay what you need for. I have other ways of avoiding cost, but this is sincerely the most important advice I can give.
You guys are f........ awesome! Well storytold, clear, concicse and visuals are on point. Watched all 4 parts. Well done team! Can't believe how you don't have more followers with such valuable content
A quick note for the production team: there were was some unsual autofocusing happening around the 3:00 mark. Maybe manually focusing could correct that? It seems like the quality has grealty improved otherwise in the past few videos. I've loved following the series and can't wait to see what's up next on the channel!
I love the in-depth review and explanation a big concept broken down wonderfully. Right on bro. Thanks, happy new year to you and all those Striving to put their futures in their own hands.
Most start ups make people drink the coolaid for the hope that company will sell and the stock options of private company will turn into the share price of public company 😂😂😂. No it doesn’t work like that. It works exactly how he breaks it down into this video! Don’t fall for stock options on start ups. Negotiate the highest salary possible ! Get the money now! Don’t work for Hope! Get your money and invest in stocks yourselves
This is a fantastic breakdown of how this plays out for founders, investors, and team members with real numbers! Excellent video! 👏
this is the type of content I subscribed for
It depends as usual. Don't try to create something for selling. Build something that shares value as maximum as possible.
Another great video @caya @slidebean! And thanks for the shoutouts. Always enjoy our collabs!
Does Lacoste sponsor you yet? They should consider an endorsement

@@jacksimba ?? Or you could focus on the content instead judging him
Finally!!! By US, SLIDEBEAN 😍😍😍😍
The whole process of all that seems like it’s more stress than it’s worth.

It will be great if you can make a video about types of shares: like equity shares, preference shares. What do investors want?
As always, yours is well-presented content. Happy New Year from Kenya my friend.
Lacoste is pretty popular between startup founders. Why?
Looks like the early stage “employees” that aren’t called “founders” get screwed per usual. With out employees all you have is an idea.
When it comes to acquisition, isn't there companies that help find buyers in the tech space?
10:52 why do you didnt subtract the price of the shares to the acquisition price for the series A funding?
Thank you for this caya ..ama contact you when done coding. Superstarz...gang gang gang
Are there startups building solely on top of no code apps winning?
Why did you not put (IV) in the title ? I thought there was no 4th part after watching the leading-up videos
