Did you ever have an investor say no at first, but fund you later? What did you do differently?

I believe a lot of young founders typically have the student-teacher relationship mindset with the investor which is what causes this problem.

The words of these YC Partners are just pure wisdom and knowledge in the startup world. I'm very blessed to have this high-value information these days. Thanks Guys!

The timing of this video couldn’t have been any better. I needed this 🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏽 #neverquit

I once pitched a VC and they rejected me and counter offered me a job to work for one of their startup on their portfolio. I turned them down.

To me, the most satisfying thing is the laugh of Michael Seibel, which certainly destroyes "The Dark Startup ignorance" like the SUNLIGHT! Thank you for laughing on the (sheep-like) investors!

Michael is so inspirational here, it's addicting.

Wow. I just had my first vc meeting td and this video popped up so conveniently. Thank you YC 🙏

Wonderful, encouraging and very helpful discussions for startups and founders. Thanks alot Harj Taggar, Michael Seibel and Brad Flora

Michael Seibel is passionate & great mentor!

That pattern matching thing is really unfortunate for founders who don’t match the history of male typically white male engineer Ivy League founders not to mention not everyone is extroverted and socially confident 👩🏽‍💻👩🏽‍💻

Great to see the team together!

Love Michaels energy in this video

Michael Seibel's facial expressions are just gold! We should train a robot to learn human expressions from his overexpressed movements :D

Thank you for your honest sharing! I found these 3 people talking are always so great! :)

Just stop relying on investors and looking for a handout. I real entrepreneur figures out a way to make it happen ... period! We live in a world today where wantrepreneurs feel they have to raise money to be successful. This is getting old.

Absolutely great information.

Just really thanks for the time doing this.

Thanks for the sharing.

Great Insights. Learned a lot.

Interesting Perspectives. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you so much for the vid. Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦

I feel this is half hearted work, I learned this words from you dear, It seems you listen to music in the meeting, you over nodging your head.

Thanks for the insights. It was very helpful. How do you go about those company that need heavy legal compliance?

I love this episode. I don't have experience getting a no from Investors yet but I know this will help me in the future. Any video about delegation?

Thanks guys

"So as YC group partners, we find ourselves repeating the same intro over and over again" sorry, i just find this funny :)

25 years ago I talked to Brad Feld about the web-based defect tracking system I was working on, and he told me there was no need for such a product because Lotus Notes could already do all those things.

I appreciate the casual dialogue between these guys. Lots of insight here that you just can't find elsewhere. Michael could turn down the pretentious tone a bit.

Thank you for all of this great content!

3:28 that's why warren buffet invest in his circle of competence, right ?

I think some people who do start business they need to learn how to negotiate, you can't possibly get any deal which you receive, my motto learn everything about the person to which you will speak about investment find something important and use it. Some deals are from the begining are doomed , why? Because your idea dont sounds reasonable , learn to have many business propositions like 5 different types of proposition. Finally its your business , nobody care except you that your business go on and on.

Check out what the investor is interested in ? most investors are not investing 1. in the business they don't know. 2 . the people run the business. 3. the idea

Just got an adhoc mentor commented my mpf was suck and not ganna make investor interested.😅

#Awesome

Aeeey the boys super social coming soon boy

Personnaly, courses of y combinator are helpful in order to understand methodologies and no It s not a problem, a rejection. Because i think that y combinator has been thought by 80% of men for men. And an incubator without garden, without emotions courses, without food from fermars...who work with natural products, without nursery for children of ceo in y combinator, without old people, without disabilitie people, without vétérans, without rural people in usa, without ....it s a lack of Yin or yang. But it s interesting to read their ideas, and learn their courses. But i am astonishing that there are no Money for vétérans of army projects, or no investor who seem to talk in High school for all children... And no possibilities for American...people to write to y combinator in order to Ask x thing for governement, IT services in order to help population... A lot of suicid near y combinator headquarter of vétérans, children, nurses and IT could help them to work fluently But unfortunately no courses of y combinator for managers who work in healthcare, at SCHOOL... But it s really interesting to learn yang or ying vision of a business, how they do Money... I think that there is a sociology survey on them who could be interesting ? In order to study their social rules,... In their social level... Really interesting

You have to lock in on that signal and cut out all the noise.
