This reporting SOMEHOW is both actually a fair evaulation of what the heck is happening with VCs (what they are, what the environment in their industry is like) while also being so entertaining that the 7 minutes fly by
"And if you're the Patagonia store... They're probably inside of you right now!" - Comes across so fantastically as a body horror line from a film its just fantastic. Perhaps my most favourite line yet!
Good reporting - informative, somewhat educational, some good points, some bad points, balanced viewpoints - already contains critique! Top journalism right there.
You do an incredible job with making it classic news, i feel like its 20 years ago and watching busines news with my dad all over again, thanks and please keep these investigative reports coming
They way you play with the frame, entering/exiting the shot, the cycling of locations. It reminds me of a Edgar Wright montage. You're blurred in the reaction shot to a blurred comment. I love it. All of it.
I freakn love this new channel !! the reporter is behind the most random background streets waiting to be hit by a NY cab or bus or grub hub delivery .. and that trench coat ..
I love this channel. As someone who works in the Financial Services industry, I can sense the sarcasms and the jabs at what we do, and it’s all in good fun. I even get to learn more about it as a result. Subbed today!
Love it, the only thing I wished you focused more on is how being the vibiest form of capital leads to the only startups being funded are those by other finance and tech bros and almost no one outside of that - regardless of the quality of the idea and startup.
The biggest secret in venture capital is that the best investment in a successful fund equals or outperforms the rest of the fund combined. - Peter Thiel
I saw a picture on Twitter recently of a group of about 5 or 6 finance guys who took a group pic of their lunch meeting. It was real funny because they were dressed almost exactly the same. Like the vest was a company mandated uniform piece
Honestly I think if we didn't have venture capitalists or investors or even money we still would have arrived at certain innovations, it just would have been at a more natural pace that didn't require grinding the majority of the population into the ground financially and literally, leaving so many innovations inaccessible to them anyway.
Bro the originality, quality and comedy you bring to your videos is really appreciated. Not enough of it online, people love it when they come across it as it’s regrettably uncommon. ClimateTown a similar example. #notanAd
Venture Capital actually started as a tactic where large military contractor corporations like RAND (and a lot of aerospace companies) would find small companies that were making products that had potential military applications, investing in them, and then using their relationships with the government to secure the companies they invested in with huge military contracts. That inception is really important when analyzing venture capital even today. Theyre still closely tied.
>What do venture capitalists actually do? VCs invest the money [they don't own] of the people [they don't care about] into the startup companies [they know nothing about].
Chamath is still doing it at this point for bragging rights, and to see how wealthy he can get, just because. His main focus is increasing his 'wealth compounding rate' YoY. Such an awe inspiring life purpose to have, these guys are great!
Talking VC with a trash mountain background at 0:12 . USA said to be first world country yet does not know how to deal with garbage, but surely does about VC. Fabulous. Btw, this is some on point journalism. Finally something serious. Nice discovery!

I worked for a startup that paid the local news companies for stories/reports on how well they're doing, just to show investors that they're actually succeeding. The problem was the company was doing really bad and the CEO had no ides what he was doing, but the VCs never looked into how the company was doing because they had invested so much money into the company, that they turned a blind eye hoping they'd get a return on investment eventually. The start up world is very toxic, there's a lot of money to be made, but it's all just a house of cards waiting to fall.... especially if the CEO of the startup and VCs are in kahoots
There's a whole lot of leg kicks and flying leg kicks showing up in your videos these days. However the "nada" flying leg kick in the Bed, Bath and Bankruptcy video remains my favorite.
@@Shubhamgupta_ Visually it's just super nice, the ggb caught my eye and also the joke of the vest off in the clouds actually made me stop and laugh. Captivating I think would be a good word for it.
They suck money out of the small companies until they run them out off blood. To make sure this happen they hire themselfs as financial managers on top, while the rest of company is left to struggle and deliver.
The Children of the Bay have a little known right of passage to initiate them into corporate life. A young prospective capitalist must venture into the Red Woods to capture and skin the sacred Allbird. Only then may they Enter the Ranks, and see their R.o.Is soar high into the sky, like a magnificent emerald vulture
Well yes. Because it’s about blitzscaling today. Not profit. Profit is no longer the metric. Big huge companies even Amazon who’ve barely ever posted a profit. The metric now is growth at all costs.
What case study should we do next??
Dropshipping // eCom bros and what do they do could be a good one
What daytraders do
What do real estate agents/investors do?
Companies that swear on the Predictive Index for profiling their employees/candidates
what do executives do
Everything this man touches turns to gold.
He'd be a good venture capitalist then.
i can value add so hard
Eventually he will get to that with the free good news haven't you heard Jesus is coming

@FeedsNoSliesMusici have adhd so it self is more telling of me lol
True
@@GoodWorkMB And we love your videos, please dont ever stop!!!! ❤❤
hey, can I just say, you've 100% stumbled upon a winning format. I'd watch a video like this on virtually any topic.
Are you a venture capitalist willing to invest in this idea so that you can use this formatting franchise in a purchase?
I absolutely agree

Stumbled? He has curated this format matty
This man's format is so interesting that I would watch him do anything
hell yeah you're gonna love this 8 hour bugle solo we got coming up

(But completely unironically... I would watch that)

Filming by the abandoned mattress and portapotty is stellar filmmaking worthy of this topic. Excellent work
i like how this was filmed in every possible kind of weather
we truly went through every season
Spring in NYC is fun 😁
we need more of these videos.... they have gotten me to sign up for morning brew, and ill read the news just to keep these investigations going.

Mine too
Shocked
Omg you guys you have been honoured here, impressive! Y’all deserve it tho

I can't believe I found this channel! Well this channel found me and only 88 videos? I'm crushed. I could binge these all night!
This channel is incredible. Informative, hilarious comedic timing, unique editing... nicely done!
It's like a throwback to 1998, and I love that.
This is legitimately one of the best jobs i’ve seen to turn a 30 second topic into a giant video, good work.

This channel replaces the Andrew Callaghan sized hole in my heart. I’m thankful I found you.
just make sure to light the candles in order and recite the proper incantations when praying that he doesnt turn out to be a sex creep too
Wtf happened ?
@@hippocratesm.d.1543 callaghan was outed as a deranged alcoholic with a chronic habit of forcing himself onto women
I love how your videos are so funny, and so fact based at the same time.
they r funny, yes. but dont take this as educational
Based on what?
@@dinglshingleIs he wrong?
I freakn love this new channel !! the reporter is behind the most random background streets waiting to be hit by a NY cab or bus or grub hub delivery .. and that trench coat ..
I can't stop wondering how those people go into these interviews. It's so serious and unserious at the same time. HILARIOUS!!!
Just like regular news, he has a normal conversation and then edits in reaction shots. That's the joke, lol
This video is amazing! haha well done
I have now binged your entire channel. Please do more. Anything.
I love this channel. As someone who works in the Financial Services industry, I can sense the sarcasms and the jabs at what we do, and it’s all in good fun. I even get to learn more about it as a result. Subbed today!
This is actually GREAT work. I thought Jay Foreman was untouched on TH-cam with this kind of content, but we've finally found an equal. Hell yeah
I can’t tell if Dan was drinking an espresso or a shot of Kahlua during his interviews 🤣🤣
Or a shot of soy sauce
we'll never tell.
@@GoodWorkMB Maybe for your million-subscriber special?
Both
Love this series, shame there are only three episodes out for now!

This guy is better than any news channel on tv

Thanks. Had a few friends captured by the VC world and never dared to ask what they really do, and most importantly, WHY. Now I know...
The way he blurred himself in that twitter guy interview got me. thanks for the good chuckle buddy.

I was not going to respect this guy, but then he did that really high kick and now I respect this guy
THank you for venturing into this subject!
>What do venture capitalists actually do?
VCs invest the money [they don't own] of the people [they don't care about] into the startup companies [they know nothing about].
So basically venture capitalists do capitalism
the PowerPoint like transitions really elevate this video to a tier above most
Dan - Keep these videos coming. You are bold, hilarious, and smart-as-heck
Another great video from male Emma Watson
your words
5:54 “Dan Toomey
Anonymous news reporter” the wit runs so deep.
What a gem of a channel. Reminds me of back in the day when the daily show was run by Jon Stewart. Actually funny
Shout outs to Beth, she's really doing good work.
This is the kind of energy I want my whole life to just radiate
This dude is gonna be a lot more famous
Consistently good comedy
This channel has locked in the over-reaching informativity market. Good Work.

I came across your channel recently and I love your chaotic intros with the voice and the trench-coat 😂
Wow, this is an incredibly succinct and effective breakdown. THANK YOU!
0:45 “and hope they become -good companies- big companies”
Should try pitching your exciting new media startup on Twitter -- I hear that's where the VCs are flocking
So this channel has actually become an authentic source of information. Brilliant.
idk why but these videos are so fucking funny, I don't even care about venture capitalists but listing to you talk about them is very humorous
you are our target audience
now this, is entertaining AND informative !

this is insanely entertaining and informative. this content is crazy high quality.

That fucking "Hang in there!" Poster in every video cracks me up!
hearing you explain what is venture capital while at work in my venture capital job
1:12 "and hope that they become good co- sorry BIG companies, not good ones"
