Every financial goal requires patience, dedication and consistent spirit knowing that investment is currently the most lucrative business in the world, both NFT, real estate and Crypto shares are really positively changing people's lives.

Thought I’d share a memory your video unearthed from the lost depths of my brain’s memory. Funny enough, I wrote an article in my sophomore year of college on this exact topic, despite never having read a single book on startup culture. This was when I first started dabbling in technology-oriented entrepreneurship (startups). I might not have known about product-market fit or structuring a company to raise money, but the fundamentals came naturally to me just as they come naturally to many who study science. Anyways, I titled the article, “Why Physicists Make Great Entrepreneurs.” When you work with various orders of magnitude for an extended period of time, you program yourself to think in orders of magnitude. If you’re finding yourself having to combine various marginal improvements to convince people your product is better, you’re probably doing it wrong. Cheers!

Great video Garry! I applied to YC a couple of years back...but I realize that I did not share the "big" idea that will change the future of professionals. Call it Imposter Syndrome, call it "No one will take it seriously cause it is a massive shift to an old tech" - whatever the reason...my mistake. A couple of years in, I am excited cause I did not give up on the idea...bootstrapped it and raised a small angel round. It is going well. Now I need to raise bigger $. It's time to put fuel on the fire. Your video reminded me that I need to be better at telling loudly about the game-changing aspect of what we are up to. Would love to connect with you - if interested.

I love your inclusion of government in startup ideas. It's a big part of my background for a startup in this space and also applying to yc!

Add on top that: availability of talent, access to funding and a market ripe for innovation, access to eager consumers, where today's consumers are more open to new ideas and funders are more open to new ways of doing and solving things, there's has never been a better time than to build a Startup and solve the problems, the world is throwing at us. Great video as always, Garry!

Garry, you are an amazing person who genuinely wants to help entrepreneurs and make a greater impact in society. You have a heart for giving back, and your passion for helping others is evident in everything you do. Thank you for being an inspiration to us all!

Great video. I'm working on Homelessness in California. Appreciate these videos!

Each of your videos are as worthy of reading a book! Just watching these are helping me to learn so much! Thanks for creating such informative and helpful contents!!

As always, the presentation, the passion, and the informativeness elements of these videos are phenomenal. Thanks Garry!!

Incredible video, thank you very much

this video is perfectly timed for our startup. The Apoorva clip helped me articulate our ‘why now’ (behavior change) related to our thesis of async video powering the future of learning and development for hybrid organizations. Stay on this mission of encouraging founders, Gary!! 🙏🏾

I am a medical student. I am hopefully graduating this year. I know how to code a bit but I plan to absolutely be obsessed with coding and machine learning once school closes. I hope I will come up with a startup or work with a great start up in medicine

This channel is a wealth of insights. Thank you!

You are amazing, you Have the power of encourage us to start a start up!!! Thaks a lot!!

Refreshing and reigniting my startup why's.

I'm joining my first startup backed by Peter Thiel next week as a developer. Garry really sparked my interest in the world of startups which is one of the reasons I'm doing this jump. I'm beyond excited 😆

Hi you have great insight on how to organize the changes. Its really hard to see when you are in the trees. So many things have been technology before its time. That has been the failure of many inventions. thank you for helping me understand that.

Garry for president

Thank you for the videos! I'm just starting my journey into a new startup and these and all the YC content has been a life changer ✨️! These videos act as a compass in where my mind should be steering

The vision of Apple Watch from that nostalgic clip was quite a shock to see.

Starting my healthcare startup has been a great journey. In seed stage now!

Lol I still have my Motorola Marco. General Magic was a helluva drug even when the web was just getting started.

Mr Tan you guys putting the pressure on 😅

3 Sales Tips (REALLY good ones) 1. Always say: this may not be for you. 2. Ask them why they think the product is a fit - asking this they might start telling themselves why they want it 3. Ask the prospect why they booked the call and why now is the good time to get started

Thanks Garry, encouraging video! A question to follow up on the ‘Why now’ aspect of building is the ‘Why you’ question both investors and the public may ask a builder. What are your thoughts on who the founder is - the person that is building the solution to a problem? What if they’re first time founders building something outside of what their career was for the last 20 years - is that something you’d frown upon as an investor?

Garry, you did great 👍

Inspiring. My new fav KZfaq channel

Thanks Garry for the videos, any pointers to your videos on semiconductors fabless startup space. Thank you

Hi Garry, I am running a new startup in Singapore and wondering how to find a legal firm locally that is affordable and yet capable in drafting founder share options and ESOP contracts. If you know any kindly refer me a web link that would be great. Learnt a lot watching your videos. Appreciate what you are doing for the community. 😊👍

The fact that this chanel is still under a million subscribers is beyond me...

Hey Gary thanks for the content, especially the point on regulation. I got hardware, embedded software and ML friends to start exploring climate tech opportunities with me so we're definitely looking at regulations (in the EU). I didn't know Pano and it's nice to see there's opportunities for smart sensors and not just satellite data which is all people talk about for climate risks.

This question doesn't always apply to million dollar ideas. What about startups which take years and years to build and take off? Where their initial markets were small. Nvidia and GPUs for instance. Apple and the personal computer as another. We can even apply this to old industries like drug development. Drugs which takes a decade to develop from target discovery, perhaps nothings changed in that decade, but once they've passed all the trials, they can make huge waves in the market.

15:01 - 15:52 is epic!

Hey Garry! Love your videos so much, started watching a week ago and have seen over 50 I think 😅I've been super interested in KZfaq and how to grow, and watched a lot of Mr. Beast interviews talking about it. He says it's all about thumbnails and watch time. I think you've got the thumbnail part, and even a lot of retention with your quick intros, but you are definetly falling off with your outros. I myself almost never listen to them and skip to the next video. Mr Beast says outros don't serve any purpose and should be replaced by a very very quick ending, so that people won't tune off and you can hit 100% watch time. Anyways, love your videos, please keep doing these 😊

Just found you channel! What a great video!

I sense a Paul Graham inspired individual 😅 Great Content

what a powerful outro 💥💥💥

Hey Gary, Thanks for the amazing content - very insightful and inspiring. I do have one question. My startup develops a mobile eye exercise & training platform to reduce eye fatigue due to extensive screen time. What's your opinion on the digital wellness industry and trends there? Hope you will find time to answer :)

We in PayVolt invent the future of alternative payment methods to those who don't have access to traditional means.

Biggest thumbs up. Thank you, Garry Tan.

You are inspiring us. Aswin from India🇮🇳

Thanks for sharing this gem! You do great job at putting things in framework and simple equation that makes it easy to evaluate the timing and idea! Thank you!🙏🏻

Garry you are a LEGEND 👏

Hey Garry, I wish I could resend my YC app and mention the “why now?” Word for word haha great video though, hope we can interview soon with YC

Thank you

Insightful content! Grateful ! Isn’t Tech and behaviour change correlated ? or rather tech leading to Behaviour change …

super!

It is hard to take a proper first step, we tend to imagining the ideal but real world is very fluid

GOD BLESS YOU KEEP GOING

great video

Garry is right, time is now & it starts with us to invent our own better future. Anybody looking to join a climate change delivery disruptive start-up, plz drop a comment below

This is true, absolutely! You try hard to give us what we want, even though we might not really realise we do.

Thank you man best video recommendationIi have receive so far from KZfaq

Hi Gary, do you have podcast? I hope I can listen to your talks during exercise.

I have a few ideas for companies. Some are tech related, some agriculture, and some philanthropy where would I start to get these made into reality? Any first steps or places I can go to find people to help?

This is beyond priceless Garry ✨.

Garry, what if we're lacking in skills or resources? Hit a brickwall? How do we overcome those problems?

Loved this video Gary. Absolutely insightful and you nailed one of the most important parts of entrepreneurship - the importance of timing. Must-listen!

Thanks for this inspirational video :)

Hey Garry, thanks for sharing your knowledge! I've been following YC for months and just found your channel. I'm interested in starting a startup and have been learning to code for the past few months. I'm currently in a Data Science BootCamp that finishes in September. I'm over 40 and I'm not sure if I should start a company right away (FOMO) or work for a startup first to get a feel for it. I would like to apply to YC but I noticed that most YC applicants have many years of experience as developers. What do you think? Thanks for all you do😎🤗

Great video! Got me thinking, why now? Subbed and looking forward to more. Thank you and keep sharing your deep knowledge with thoughtful videos

1. New tech 2. Behavior change 3. New government law

This is really interesting. Thanks Garry!

Thanks a lot for this great question and the video !

That last part of the video 🔥🔥🔥🔥 14:30

Pano looks like an amazing company. How does it address privacy concerns though?

Amazing video

This is awesome....great insghts...thanks for sharing Gary :)

Who is the person in suit at 1:20?

Wow... it choke me to the bone!

Amazing video and thank you for breaking it down!! Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy 😊I have been earning $ 60,000 returns from my $7,000 investment every 12days.

Best

Thanks Garry. I believe this will be one of your best videos. Once again thanks so much.

Love the content and energy @gary! Keep up the motivational, great work!

Mr Gary. Thanks from Cameroon

How can I get funded through your company?

Song on the outro????

"If you ask the right question, product market fit will find you." 👍 Also, Elon Musk in one of his videos talking about his existential dilemma in his younger ages, quoted from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, that humans just have to seek for asking better questions.

Thanks so much Garry for this video and all other great videos. In fact, I am working on a startup that complements well with what Kim is doing on climate change and hope to be able to present my pitch to you. Cheers! Negash

It may be possible to build drones with centralized AI that can remove trees in ways that make it harder for fires to spread... Rather than trying to respond to the fire early - although that does have the benefit that those trees are still producing O2. I wonder if we could do something else there... If removing trees at regular distances could block wildfires, maybe you could create a coating for full grown trees that makes it harder for them to burn down - and thus makes it hard for them to help spread fires... I personally feel that there should be a path to carbon capture through engineered algae or microbes. But if you make something that spreads fast, you also need to add code to its genes that sets some max limit for replication lest it become a plague... I imagine that if optimized plants / microbes were built for this goal, you'd also need multiple versions, that can fit into different climates. There's no doubt a ton of potential complexity there to be solved. But I think that if the goal is more carbon capture than building sustainable ecosystems, the complexity should be lower.

I always love your video sir.

I have a suggestion for your future videos, just cut the background music. Its giving “a day in the life of xyz” vibes

Gary is absolutely amazing

Awesome! How to come up with a great startup idea ?

You are a true inspiration.

Does anyone know how to create a google maps like app?

Hi Gary how can we get in touch to talk about pitching a start up?

Sometimes the answer to this is "because I was born and I see something nobody else sees"

I can't agree more with you Garry. Indeed, these are critical factors. Just making something new or improving something is not good enough.

Well health technologies

Thank you for info. I’m on my journey making big impact into the future.. if want to invest and right along with my billion dollar idea star up rich me out please.

Great video👍

Hi Garry. Been a sub for several months now. How can I contact you privately with a tech startup question? Thanks and thank you for all of your great content and positive messages. 🤙

Great points regarding new regulations. I still find the intersection of new technology and new behavior the most enjoyable and pure forms of innovation drivers

The best way to predict the future is to invent it

The 16,000x today is definitely AI!

Inspiring Brother Garry, Blessings from Australia. 🙏🏽👍🏽🤝🦘🐨

ser, we are building better payment connectivity network for decentralized networks, how can i get in touch with you?

Hi Garry, I have a great idea for a picnic startup online market place! How do we get your attention :)

I see….Crypto is still waiting and hoping for the user behavior change
