John if it wasn’t for you I don’t think I would’ve been able to kick off my SaaS startup so smoothly. Just finished seed funding & been watching your videos everyday the whole way through. Keep it up because there’s people like me out there who wait on your vids haha!! Much love

1. Thoughtfulness. (Both ways; “if they wanted to, YOU would” lol) 2. Culture (Social vibe) & Complements. (valuable XP, Network, & Hustle/Willingness) 3. Not Recommended References. (Values, Support in struggles, 2nd chance)

Jay, I work for a principle VC firm. You are 100% right. Any founders watching this video, please take on board everything said. Enter negotiations from an empowered position, not from an indebted one.

This video hits the nail on the head, and rings especially true of VCs writing smaller checks. If they're writing you a 100-300k seed check, they'll typically spend way more time on the portcos that took 1-5M. This is why angels can be so great - small check sizes, but tons of engagement/value add since they care way more about each individual investment (super important to find the right angel though). Btw, the email outreach thing is sooo true. There was a period after we had pivoted when we would still get emails that referenced our old company from investors who clearly hadn't even taken the time to visit our website. The lack of effort can be quite mind-boggling. Love your videos Jay, been following since the beginning!

This comment hits the nail on the head! ESPECIALLY about angels. Couldn't have said it better myself. And you're right, the lack of effort that some folks give is truly shocking🤯 Really appreciate your continued support Aaron :)

@@jayhoovy Would love to hear you talk more about the angel stage and about how you think about managing the cap table early on. Number of angels, what types of angels to bring onboard (or not), percentage to give away at that early stage etc. Cheers

Hey there Jay! I was wondering if the ultimate VC's (the best of the best that feasibly available on a global level) may sometimes may not fully look to demonstrate how interested they are in assisting your company even though in the long term they are the best fit? Thank you, your content is top notch as per custom! :)

Thank you so much, this is very helpful. I'm working on building a unique café franchise and we're using comparative company analysis (comps) to validate our business model. We're also part of an accelerator with access to a wide network, including Sam Altman. Any tips you could offer would be greatly appreciated!

really helpful! thank you! what about instead of a VC(since i don't need funding), i have a person i can bring on ,that has more than enough experience in my field(Fintech), and i have the abillity to bring him to join my board. given the situation, do you think it's preferred.

Video idea! How is your life changing as you raise more money and increase the valuation of your company? Millionaire on paper (billionaire soon!), but do you get to live like one? Is your quality of life getting better with the higher valuation? Are you getting invited to all the cool parties, or do you have to wait until you have that super successful exit (coming soon, we hope!)? Cheers! and thanks for all the great value you give us :))
