    ABOUT JOHN COOGAN:
    I am the co-founder of soylent.com and lucy.co, both of which were funded by Y Combinator (Summer 2012 and Winter 2018).
    I've been an entrepreneur for the last decade across multiple companies. I've done a lot of work in Silicon Valley, so that's mostly what I talk about. I've raised over 10 rounds of venture capital totaling over $100m in funding.
    I work mostly in tech-enabled consumer packaged goods, meaning I use software to make the best products possible and then deliver them to the widest possible audience. I'm a big fan of machine learning, python programming, and motion graphics.

    @digital.frenchy 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Loved it, very instructive but if you want some feedback, and obviously it's only mine, you might have been inspired to put movie clips in your video by guys like Jack Tran that does it to the perfection. I don't know why i kept on being confused the way you did it yourself. Maybe it's because you mix actual B roll about what you're talking about and then Movie B roll out of the blue and I'm like "Is this or that part of the silicon actual story and it could be?! or "is the wolf of wall street" actually related to this, because it might as well be?! i think Jack Tran does it without his face at all during the video and then he only or mostly have movie B-rolls that really match the situation with insane graphics (yours are good too). Last thing, the typewriter sound at some point when some text appears on the screen wasn't a perfect match i felt and was a bit too much!! But yeah, i know you got an INSANE engagement rate with like 12% rate when it's 1% on average on youtube and 0,5% for my videos, haha, so i'm aware people love your videos. Nevertheless, i hope this helps and again it's only one opinion...

      @Leonard2542 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      ​@@JohnCooganPlus I think your titles and thumbnails are great.
      Usually your videos go into the past to explain the present, but this one felled more like a history lesson. This might have created the difficulty with the title? Because all your other videos are titled well. They convey that something is happening right now, and when I read it I want to know how Zuck's Metaverse is killed, for example.
      I am probably not telling you anything you do not yet already know, but this title is missing a buzzword. Some adjective to give more life to the word "laws"?
      Or how about
      The 3 Hidden Laws that Ruled Silicon Valley for XXX Decades, or something like that? ...I would put a number at XXX, but I don't even know what a decade is :D

    But as a human we should head in the most meaningful direction -- i belive entrepreneur are the rule makers in this day n age
    We should write some code for making something meaningful
    I am little anti hyper growth model -- we can learn from industrial age 🥲
