    I often get the feeling startups tend to spend more than they have to. Sometimes the venture capital model encourages founders to just hunt for more funding and investors rather than seeking profitability.

      Ongeri it’s true , it’s the founder decision how fast want to grow , if you wait for market change then whole prospect of profit effort also change

      Ehhh... I think a lot of startups with great planning, great candidates and good estimations still fail.
      It's just the nature of the game. A lot of "multi-million dollar ideas" just end up not being scalable

      @@jajajinks1569 True but TIMING is the key a lot of ideas have come and go throughout history. Facebook was not the first idea same with Uber or Airbnb. But their time was timed to perfection to a point that I believe investors were having a bidding war to give them as much money as they need it. The only problem with time it's virtually unpredictable but it's very clear when something is actually is at the right time.

    i still don't understand why big platforms are sold, like why Instagram, Skype or other i don't know now was sold for billions, why they couldn't continue to be an individual like they were, maybe the ones who started them had enough and wanted a life time vacation and some money to invest in something else and not bother about profit or else

      "Here's a $1 billion for Instagram."
      Very few people are not going to take that money. Yeah, they could've kept it going and possibly earned billions more but...
      #1. A billion dollars is enough money.
      #2. Your platform hasn't even made much or any profit yet.
      #3. There's no telling how your platform will end up in the future. It could fizzle out like MySpace or Vine.

    Hmmm what about bootstrapping? I heard some good quotes from some 8 figure marketers
    "if you can't make money without money, then prolly you can't make money with money's"
    the advancement technology in 2020 is super amazing. You can use free trial or developer mode third part software/application to run your website or application with no money from ground up and start making some profit from there, Zoho is perfect example of bootstrapping startup, but hey life is a choice right there's pros and cons on every side :)

    Hmmm, don't get me wrong Caya, but there seems to be an inconsistency, you just said: "WeWork raised 22 billion dollars [...]" and then "Why do investors pour so much money into these tech startups". So did you just say that WeWork is a tech startup? Because I thought it wasn't, based on your video startup forensics about we work when you said: "Wework was not a tech company, it was a real estate company with some tech.", so has there been any changes or was my inference incorrect?

    • @TheOnlyTruthSerum
      @TheOnlyTruthSerum 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      WeWork was thought to be a Tech start up by the investors because the founders paraded it as one and that was why they raised so much money (as a tech startup that they weren't) no inconsistencies here
