I'm Justin Kan and I've been through the ups and downs in the startup world. I started Justin.tv, which morphed into Twitch and sold it to Amazon for almost $1 billion, became a partner at Y Combinator, and now I'm investing at my venture capital firm, Goat Capital, and working on my podcast, The Quest. Now, I want to share my stories, startup advice, throwback stories, life advice, behind-the-scenes content and what helped me achieve happiness here on TH-cam.

Justin, more videos exactly like this one. The vibe is soo cool.
I love watching you videos Justin. Thanks for the awesome content!
You are the best Justin. Much love 🤜🏾
Awesome, keep them coming! :D
Love the strong YC representation among these startup founders!
This is very inspiring. Thanks Justin! 😁
great video Justin!
Love your content Justin. Greetings from Penang, Malaysia.
Yasss we love Popl and Nick!
How can these startups valued at like a few million afford such expensive real estate and why would they even need to purchase office space when the majority of the workforce in tech wants to work remote? I feel like they can reduce their costs going full remote unless there's something I'm missing about spending your cash you raised on real estate as opposed to R&D and sales/marketing.
When the most of your workforce is in the same city it might be a good idea to get a place, since in-person interactions can't really be replaced
@@iamverybigsad I agree that in person interactions are pretty valuable, but I don't understand the point of getting a mansion aside from trying to show off that you're a "big CEO" of a startup. Mansions in LA go for about 150k/month. You can get a much bigger office in LA for a similar price. The economics don't make sense to me.
I think at the end of the day it’s rich ppl funding projects that already have people who are wealthy to a certain degree or come from a background built for success. You have to remember that raising money from VC likely means you’re in an exclusive club to begin with
@@borisli4817 people who are worth 1 million that are around billionaires so they strive for that
@@ablatt89 that’s because the economics are stupid. They live in the “mansion” and pay rent and then lease the rest of the space to themselves as office spaces, effectively getting their investors and customers to pay for them to live in that mansion. It’s for appearance and likely a huge waste.
cool format!
Nice vid! The second dude says "like" with greater frequency than average.
I'm curious how "Intro" started out. How did they manage to get all those experts to sign up? Did they reach out to all of them individually (or to their managers)?
startup intro vides like this are interesting
Hope can see intro video of your new startup - Rye 🔥
Sick!!
Every other video is an ad for Magic Mind. You must be losing a lot of money on this deal to push it this relentlessly. 😂
Would loved your personal insights on how you feel after taking Magic Mind every morning, Justin.
Looks like you're having a great time
Every video on this channel inspires me to become an entrepreneur! amazing
Magic mind ❤
4:08 Least ergonomic setup ever
Agreed, though maybe he uses an external keyboard but was just doing quick stuff during that shot.
🤣
carpal tunnel speedrun
how to become featured on ur channel?
Dude, as much as I love you as a person, this video came off to me as you just plugging your well-connected friends' startups
There are thousands or millions of small startups like mine and a handful which are actually going to be revolutionary like Twitch, Netscape, or even Bell Labs if we go back far enough. But just because they happened to not get into Yale and/or YC at exactly the right time, they're not getting the credit or attention they deserve. (in Andreessen's case, he went to UIUC before it was even half of what it is today)
Obviously your success is well-deserved, and everyone around the world watches Twitch all the time, but it feels unfair that the folks who happened to befriend the great Justin Kan get disproportionate attention and press
Life isnt fair
Agreed, I think that's why Justin's Channel is dying
I recently started watching his videos again and they don't even cross 1k likes, where as earlier his pitch deck critiquing videos were so popular, or maybe I'm just remembering wrong
This whole video feels like a commercial
Peace brother! Let me start this off by saying you will be successful ! Everyone & thing has their time ! Figure out creative ways to reach the masses for your company ! Peace.
nice
The kinkos story is very cool.
You can see the Breathwrk studio!!
RIP Popl
New title: "What are 3 rich guys' houses like?"
Best Friend Forever! :) OK, I'll take it ;)
Cool love all 3! You drove down our street by Abbot Kinney open invite here anytime. Go LA!
A consultation call with the interior designer of Oprah is better than a college education. Lol ok
Yeah, that was complete bs
I really hate when people say XYZ is better than a college education, when, for most, not all people that's simply not true
I bet you 5 bucks you wanna check out the Cape Town startup scene.
That's not how caffeine works...good lord he doesn't even know what he's saying.
