So you think you want to start a tech business...
Let's have a talk about spinning up a startup or building a tech business. Being an entrepreneur CAN be great, but much of the time it's a miserable slog that ends in abject failure.
Thoughts of business structure, and taxes... LLC, S Corp, DBA
How employees, contractors, and partners actually work for a business and legal responsibilities to considered.
Figuring out products and Pricing models.
When to quit your day job.
And finally... Client Acquisition Cost... Your business will live or die based on CAC at scale...
The class will go over:
The difference between tech business and startup
Concepts around funding
Accelerators
Finding help
Finding customers
How to know if this is right for you
Taxes and Regulations
and... 1000 reasons this is a dumb idea...
Video dropped at the perfect moment.
Your teaching style resonates very well with me.
Thanks for uploading so consistently!
Hope you're well Eli. Been watching for a decade+. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and opinions where most don't.
I’m on to my third business where I’ve been successful enough to buy most things I want but I’m no where near wealthy. Working with and being around wealthy people I have found that YES, most of them got it EASY. I’ve never met a wealthy person who was more talented or more intelligent than me. Most of them don’t provide as much value to the world as the money they take. What I’m saying is there ARE easy ways to be wealthy. It usually involves taking advantage of people, situations and or resources.
underrated comment detected!
I'm actually trying to focus on making a product that is valuable to my customers, rather than screwing them over. It will take me eight years to create my product, but I'm down. When I'm 34, I will finally be able to start my business. 8 years of grinding after a long day's work and studying. Worth it in my eyes. I wanna get rich the right way.
Definitely. Eli’s comment actually shows how little he understands about how the wealthy acquire or maintain wealth, especially over multiple generations.
Most undervalued talk... I will NEVER work in tech. But this is all just good life advice honestly.
Still grinding, thank you Eli for the continued encouragement.
Thanks!

This belongs in a Stanford lecture. This is amazing material.

Eli! Been there Done 2:17:23 that! Everything you are speaking of! I will say you are being brutally honest and I will also say, the folks that watch this have no idea how VALUABLE this info is! Not until they have been there! Chicken or the Egg?

2:39 exactly
Totally understand Eli. 2024 dealt me... my 20 year companion/friend/dog, Lucy passed away. I broke my shoulder mid year. Had surgery, reattached my arm to my shoulder with a strap. Decided to enroll at my local college while recovering... bad move. College has consistently inundated me with white-folks-R-bad messaging non-stop, wtf? Reconsidered college yet just re-enrolled in college this spring semester.
Hopefully 2025 will be the year. My fingers are crossed. Stay healthy bud.
What is the white-folks-R-bad messaging? And how did it impact you?
@@TheMagicalBlackBox I don't know what the messaging is about, self guilt probably. My dog dying impacts me every day still. It's difficult to ignore the void.
20:28 nice catch
Yeah Documentation takes forever but extremely important.
Are you acquainted with cs Joseph the mbti TH-camr?
