Not a story but I would love to hear what your intrinsic motivators are, if that's not too personal. Also, since most of your viewers are probably pretty young, it'd be awesome if you made a video about college, as in how your college experience was and paved your way to becoming an entrepreneur and how much does it matter in say silicon valley? Because you hear so many people saying that your degree is worthless, yet most ultra-successful individuals attended very prestigious schools, regardless of whether they come from rich families or not.
I always seach for, but never quite find, a highly nuanced, step-by-step story of building a company/brand from literally Day -100 ("I was born and by the time I reached 7 years old, I knew I wanted to be _____." or... "I started to get interested in ???? when I took a class in high school about ???"). Then to Day -10 ("one day, I met this guy at a party and we became friends and we eventually started to talk about building a company"), to Day 1 (very first day taking the very 1st step of Work Day #1 of the business), to Day ??? to Day ??? (during our first ___ year(s), we did this, that and this other stuff and grew out company little by little) to Day ???? ("now that we built this pretty big company and people definitely were starting to notice our company now, this is what we did to build it even more and it became **HUGE**"), to Day ??? ("this is when we knew it would be a good time to sell") to Day ??? (basically, the selling time... which this video covered). What I'm most curious about is hearing about how to start. What did you do literally on Day #1? How much money did it take to start the business? What does Day #1 to Day 365 look like? What specifically did you do to being it from scratch and get it going and to build a bit of momentum to get to Day 365? When did you get your first investor involved? 2nd investor? How much did they invest? Percentage of equity sold for those investors' money? I'd find all that to be a good video. Thanks for this video upload and congrats! Very impressive!
@@carlosmanoba His name is Justin and back when they started he was broadcasting his own life online 24/7. So it was literally a show about his life hence Justin.tv.
What a fucking crazy ass story. What a blessing to be a part of something so incredible Justin. Thank you so much for sharing that with us & I look forward to seeing you upload more content to TH-cam. I had a Justin.tv account and my Twitch account is 9 years old. Been with you since the beginning brother. Congrats!
We came here after watching your incredible interview with Coffeezilla today. This was an incredible video. Your advice at the end of each videos is highly appreciated and very encouraging. We are glad we found your channel and happily subscribed. Thank you for sharing your experience!!!!
I think Amazon had some smart negotiators who saw how tired you were from the previous negotiations and just tried their luck putting some pressure on you while risking to loose the whole deal. In the end I also think it was an incredible deal for everyone and you did the right think. I'm happy for you and the team, you earned it by adding value to millions of people's lives! Thank you for sharing this exciting experience and especially the inspiring take aways!
Love how Justin is able to tell his stories to us. This is such great content for entrepreneurs that are starting companies. Love this. Keep it up Justin!
Thanks for this very interesting insight! I was one of the first justin tv users back then I think. What you say at 11:25 has a different meaning during the pandemic. For many young people this is not about hitting the next goal or big success anymore - it's about getting anything at all. I know so many people that are struggling right now. Having money as a backup must be the best feeling ever.
Can’t thank you enough for posting this. I’m working on a startup in the UK. this is exactly what I need to watch now. Thank you. Wishing you endless happiness.
So interesting to get those behind-the-scenes stories! We rarely hear those! Could you also make a video about the growth of Twitch and the pivotal moment when things started to change?
Hands down the best video I have watched on TH-cam. As someone who constantly wants more, hearing you say it doesn’t make you any happier than you were before is refreshing. Keep the content coming.
I love how Justin, creator of Twitch, where users have the fanciest cameras and lighting and elaborate backgrounds....and he just uses a random qualy cam with probably natural lighting and you can even tell its getting darker so he does turn on a light :D
Omg i was just thinking about Justin.tv the other day. We didn’t have cable (ofc) and your app saved me many nights (almost years?) of boredom. Thank you. Glad to see you’re active and I’m happy to subscribe.

Your content is extremely valuable. Even for me a 14 year old investor. It is honestly unbelievable that you don’t have wayyy more subscribers, because the content you make is so much more valuable than a large majority of the stuff on YT. Definitely underrated.

You understand that this guy lost money by giving up twitch for 1 billion right. Edit 15 billions to be exact. This guy is what its called in the business A SUCKER. Also he got low balled by Amazon a few times. Dont take advice from this guy how to do business. He built a startup maybe take advice for that part.

@@bendover-bz4bc Selling a company doesn't mean you lose the simp management or employees, rather you retain the employees tp ensure smooth functioning.
Ok. Let me get this straight The very reason why they didnt sell to yahoo was to keep it in gaming But looking at twitch now, i can tell yahoo deal would have been better😂
But this channel is so great. Many people dream of being in that type of achievement/financial situation but rarely get the chance to hear them speak on such a personal and transparent level. What a fascinating channel!
I mean... if someone wants to buy your company, that already signals you that you're company will be worth more than you get... he has good reasoning for selling
Love telling these behind-the-scenes stories. What other stories should I tell on my channel?
Any plans to be a.....centibillionaire? 👀

Talk about future companies or ideas or hopes/dreams you have for your life.

This story is definitely worthy of a Hollywood movie. If I was a big studio, I'd surely reach out to Justin.
