The venture capitalism system broke when monopolies became the norm. The leaders in each field have the top global talent and endless liquidity. The top talent helps identify the winners. They get bought before they become too expensive or worse, competitors. The companies left for venture capital investors are the 2nd and 3rd rate ones. Meanwhile regular investors who put their money in the monopoly get minimal return as the companies are so large and heavy their grouth is severely limited. Monopolies: Google, Samsung, Meta, China(military civil fusion and top down communist command structure=monopoly)...
Hello! I'm from Romania, I like your channel, I've watched more than 20 videos. The problem is that when I recommend your videos to friends or relatives the videos in question lack any translation in romanian language, even the automatic translation. I'll be very happy if you can fix this problem, I will recommend your channel more often and you will get more views
I worked in the small finance department of a "startup". Even tough the company was not profitable after 14 years, it was still raising money from investors to grow its customer base, while getting subsidies from the french government for so called R&D and it was the only reason it stayed afloat all that time. The founder and CEO still paid himself around 13 times the minimum wages and managed to get an exit of multiple millions in the end. Thats how I got disgusted from start ups and VCs
@@maciejm740 tax rate in Europe tend to be higher Still say you pay 50% and take home 150k you still live a very good life as most public services would have been paid for
"but what the f*ck do these people actually do all day?" 0:09 as someone who lives in San Francisco and has no real connection to the tech industry, those are my exact thoughts almost everytime I meet tech people and they tell me about their jobs. Not just the VCs but the engineers, consultants.... they seem to revel in keeping it ambiguous from us normies
I think the behinds the scenes videos of Twitter and other tech companies gave us a pretty good idea of what they do all day. They get paid astronomical amounts of money to roll into the office around noon, spend an hour in the relaxation tub, then go get a mocha latte, cobb salad and imported Greek yogurt from the cafeteria, all free of course. Then, they play some ping pong or table hockey, chill out in the reading room on giant bean bags. Then eventually go to their office where they turn on their computer, update their FG, IG and all that, then sigh after a long days work, get a free massage in the massage chamber, then leave the office around 3pm. That's only on Monday, Wednesday and Fridays of course, the other days they play from home.
@@fuzzypanda1684 Yep, and that's why the Twitter bubble burst, when Elon acquired the company. So many big paychecks and people spent more time TRYING to find something to do, rather than doing something.
I’m a healthcare VC. We looked into theranos and knew it was BS. Really interesting how light her sentence was and how heavy it was for the men. Just something super weird to note.
Oh come on, the first woman shown here got 100 plus years as well. Don't need to shoehorn culture war bullshit into everything suspicious you see. It speaks to a lazy mind. Go do the research to figure the differences.
Well, Balwani got around the same sentence for the same charges, the sexism is probably not prevalent in this case, just the "the rich getting away with things" aspect is.
Private equity tanked the company I worked for. Company was around and profitable for decades they had it for 3 years and drained it. Courts found out they hired the liquidation company a year prior and just a couple of months ago the owner of that firm killed himself..
That's literally true. For example Uber a company that's over a decade old has yet to make a net profit, but their software engineers are paid the same kind of six figures that profit making giants like Apple get paid. Venture capital money has put upward pressure on tech salaries for over a decade. They are incredibly inflated.
@@behemoththekitty I'll be the first to say that I'm biased as a software engineer but I think it depends on the perspective. At Uber, they absolutely have an inflated salary. No company that has yet to report net profit should be paying so well. But in the example of Apple, they basically print money and their tech workers are a huge reason for that. My point I'm making is VC money mostly inflates startup salaries and similar unicorn type companies. I make 6 figures but I work at a well established insurance company. There's people that make more than me but work at companies that have yet to turn a profit it's very strange. However, it makes sense for the people at tech giants to be making what they do. BUT at the end of the day. It amazes me that some people in the industry earn as much if not more than doctors in a lot of cases. The pay really is insane.
@@cmelch The problem with inflated salaries is that eventually market forces will force these inefficient businesses to readjust. So how are they going to do it? Well, they can't lower pay directly because a professional who gets paid x - amount of money today won't simply agree to be paid x-1 amount for the same work tomorrow. Therefore companies will have to go about it in indirect ways such as laying off workers and forcing the remaining workforce to work harder or they will have to significantly curtail career growth opportunity within their business, meaning that the average professional staying at the company simply can't expect to be earning triple or even double the salary they earing in 10 years time. Thanks to the "move fast and break things " crowd career growth is dead. This kind of readjustment is going to hurt everyone in the industry not just the VC backed startups who precipitated the problem. In fact it's already happening. Apple and the likes will absolutely take this opportunity to stagnate pay and increase their profit margins a little more even though they don't really have to do it for any critical financial reason. Profitable businesses imitate struggling businesses all the time in order to rack in extra profits. Case in point: food manufacturering giants who comtrol litterary every aspect of their production chains are currently raising their prices, whilist blaming inflation and pretending that they are subject to the same market conditions like the small business down the road.
@@cmelch I strongly disagree. I'm working as software developer and it's pretty easy to go freelancing or something like that, if you're a good developer. Obviously salaries up to a few hundred k are inflated and junior developers that earn 6 figures is crazy, but even here in Germany I could earn as much as 200-300k when freelancing, so a six figure salary is nothing but competitive. (normal salaries are at around 50k with developers earning around 70k+, but in certain cases way more)
@@HiFisch94 career growth within the company and freelancing are two different things. The very fact that you have to freelance to get maximum profit out of your skills kind of proves my point
There is a bavarian proverb roughly translates to "The devil craps on the biggest pile of shit." meaning the most undeserved people get the most help.

Thus further undermining or outright destroying whatever little was left of any virtual competition or laughable parody of a free market we might have had otherwise.
It's like someone said The only way to have a free market is to have regulations that keep it free. If you have a truly free market, the first person to rise to the top will make it unfree by destroying competition
@@luxinvictus9018 We also went the other way full throttle.

Jim Rickards explained that quite nicely The value of an asset (share in a company) can be measured by the cash flow it brings It is either the income it would bring from its business operations or how much people would pay when you sell it off Obviously when the mind set is so focus on the stock valuation on IPO how much the company get snapped up by larger corporation for the focus is not on a business plan with revenue model After a while it becomes a game of who holds the parcel
9:00 This is important to the whole “startup refuses venture capitalist’s offer to invest” thing. The VC is buying an ownership stake, and in many cases they’re going to act like it.
The VC industry is a casino. The carry incentive for funds incentivizes taking absurd risks, because if you get lucky you get 20% of hundreds of millions(or more) and if it goes to zero, it isn't your money. Heads they win, tails they don't lose. It is still necessary to fund new businesses, but private markets have gone unchecked for far too long.
Yeah can’t believe that this video completely missed the economics of venture - not just carry but also capita gains - instead of income tax - for GPs, how many skate by on management fees instead of returns, and how the losses accrue to endowments and pension funds responsible for funding schools and retirees. So much for “How Money Works” telling us how money works.
When I started my company back in early 2022 vc's were fighting over funding in the Web3 space, by the time we started our 1st round around 2 months back, its hard to get vc's to take a meeting. Funding is garbage rn
It has a long proud history going back to before the US as a country and probably from the invention of stock corporation in the 1600's including carpet baggers and land speculators.

@@DipayanPyne94 they are ignorant to the most important 2 inputs in an economy, human capital and the biosphere where every material and service come from/rely on to operate. They'll never aproximate accuracy or stability until they wrap their heads around that.
Every company I have seen that got taken over by private equity, was run into the ground within less than a year. Prices went up and service went down. Just my own anecdotal experience.
VC is about putting lipstick on a pig 🐷💄, taking it to market, charging 10x more than a regular piggy, selling it, and hoping that no one figures out that it was just a regular pig all along. REPEAT 🔁.
There’s also a cultural and behavioral piece to dressing. It doesn’t matter what you wear, if you aren’t understanding the intricacies of the culture…vocabulary, conversation topics, appropriate humor, social distance, table manners, etc. you can be well dressed on the outside, but you’ll still be out…
All of these videos could be summed up with "What do these people do?" "They take other people's money and write reports trying to get people to invest more money".
I think it would be better to invest in stock market and choose individual stocks wisely and buy and hold then invest in a venture capital firm. You can get similar return with less risk and more liquidity
The reason that these companies often fail is because they were never backed by a real product or service that people wanted or cared about. Throwing around money only goes so far but for a lot of venture capitalists it's a numbers game and every so often you will back that super successful business making the previous losses seem acceptable. Of course, if people had better foresight and insight then they wouldn't need to make such wasted investments.
I know is best to invest in safe heaven assets cos profit level usually drops in these times, but I have been reading articles of people that were still able to gross heavy profit up to $580k during this crash...... what is the best strategy at this time
Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. hence I will suggest you get yourself a financial-Advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist. Apple, Merck, General Dynamics, Cheniere Energy and Marriott International are prime candidates.
I agree , I assumed I had a hang of the market at first, I gained $50k one year and I was super elated, not until I stumbled upon a portfolio-adviser whose been guiding me since the market's been sham after the pandemic, to my utmost surprise I netted a whooping $280K during this dip, that made it clear there's more to the market that we avg. joes don't know
A coach is essential in a volatile market, and "Viviana Marisa Coelho" is my advisor. She has years of experience in the financial field, so you can easily look her up.
Thanks, I saw Viviana Marisa Coelho on google l, read through her credentials on her website and it's top-notch! I wrote her an email, hopefully she’s accepting new intakes.
You forgot the bit in a buyout fund where they transfer the massive loan onto the company they just bought, weighing it down for the rest of its existence
Putting well-earned money into the stock market can be over emphasize for first time investors,unlike a bank where interest is sure thing! Well, basically time are uncertain, the market is out of control,and banks are gradually failing. I'm working on a ballpark estimate of $5m for retirement, and I've a good 6 figure loaded up for this, could there be any opportunity a boomer like me?
There are a lot of strategies to make tongue wetting profits especially in a down market but such sophisticated trades can only be carried out by proper market experts.
That’s true , I’ve been getting assisted by Jessica Katherine Ellis for almost a year now , I started out less than $200k and I’m just $19,000 short of half a million in profits.
Venture (verb): dare to do something or go somewhere that may be dangerous or unpleasant. Capital (noun): wealth in the form of money or other assets owned by a person or organization or available or contributed for a particular purpose.
Thank you for this wonderful video! I have incurred so much losses trading on my own....I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated.... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I strongly advise you against self trading, it's really dangerous and had brought so many investors down, you need someone with the knowledge and strategies, someone dedicated to the crypto currency market business, and I will strongly recommend expert, Mrs Mary Linda
I am happy VC exists sometimes those are the only ones that will support an idea, and allow people without money to start their own business, I dont get all the hate in the comments if someone with money wants to help a business and get something in return
So, would you be ok with a VC that invested and pushed to bring to market a b2b app that said how much sugar and other chemicals to put in food so it kills ppl in exactly 20 years if they consume the products? Because it would be successful. You will have the conpany that makes the product profit from it, then you would have big pharma that benefits from it... I didn't want to go with a more exagersted example like apps for child kidnaping for humman trafficking or other dark stuff, that are in development by the way 😂
I wish there was a summary at the end. With your dry delivery, it's sometimes hard to discern when you're joking and when you're serious, which makes it a bit confusing
All of these requirements for "accredited" investors appear to mean nothing at best and gaslighting...also at best. VC is like acting: a performance inherently dishonest.
I encourage everyone to boycott all wallstreet corporations and to divest from wallstreet. For the average American it's a loosing proposition and anyone who says otherwise is profiting from wallstreet and have an inherent desire take your money
To be frank, if you need to get info like that from UA-cam, you're at least some years away from being at a place where you could even pitch a start-up. And you probably lack even basic understanding of the current state of the startup space. Not meant to insult you, just a friendly tip you are free to ignore. Right now VCs will only listen to you if you - have someone to offer a great intro to them somehow (Some C-Level person or well funded investor for example), -are in a hype market (which is usually not what average people are hyping now, but what they are going to hype in about 4 months, as you need to account for time to market, etc) - are already well financed or liquid and you just need scaling money. In general, you don't pitch ideas. You pitch a product/service and a vision for it. They'll make sure your path there is valid and even then they still likely won't invest. Right now the market is oversaturated and VCs are realizing lots of startups they have stakes in are pretty much already fucked, they just haven't run out of money yet, but the climate has shifted so much, most paths to envisioned success are no longer valid. So they gradually started looking for startups with short time to market periods and existing revenue streams so they can get money back earlier, as some of them are likely not going to be able to offload their startups anymore and they always knew a lot of them will never become profitable. They just hoped to scale them enough to offload them, before someone noticed. FTX, etc.
@@MrGruzefix thanks for the advice … no offence taken. But I probably shouldn’t have mentioned venture capital. To clarify, I want to ‘sell my idea ’ … not actually start the business… To be more specific, it’s an idea for an App. I would want to sell the idea along with the business plan
Making the right moves just as this dip is crippling everything should be the major concern of investors, some are pulling out due to the decline caused by the dip and just so to say i'm glad Mrs. Serra Caroliina is my backbone on this one, insuring my investments and still making heavy gains ... thanks to Serra Caroliina
.Awesome "Remarks Mrs Caroliina changed my life because of the huge profits I got from her. I make over £4,000 from investing with her each week all I have is positive results from her good task..
To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edged as an investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough. I’ve been quite ensured about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it’s the best time to get started on the market,what are your thoughts?!
What if you have a net worth of $1M but its all in your house? Does’t count. But… what if you sell your house, now you have a net worth of $1M … all in cash. Qualifies?

There’s also a cultural and behavioral piece to dressing. It doesn’t matter what you wear, if you aren’t understanding the intricacies of the culture…vocabulary, conversation topics, appropriate humor, social distance, table manners, etc. you can be well dressed on the outside, but you’ll still be out…
Is it using ponzi sceme? More buyer the price goes up higher and only the first buyer profit becos when they sell later they take new buyer money too?
Yup
Now this is some synched audio
Time to rewatch
Always interesting, thank you.
"Why? Don't ask too many questions, that's why…" 😆
I worked at a starup that straight up 10x'd their revenues on the income statement. I left but the company is still receiving investments
I didn‘t even watch the video yet, but when I saw the quote „The Uber of craft beer“ in the thumbnail I just cracked up😂
Ima need to watch it in the morning. I was trying to be first you guys are fast
Great vid as always.
Thank you! Glad you liked it
My three favorite channels: How Money Works, StockBrotha, & Graham Stephan. Make my week complete!
Look up the plain bagel i think you’ll like it too
You lost me at graham.stephen 😂😂
And that’s why Leon Edwards has the most aesthetic physique!
All of these videos could be summed up with "What do these people do?" "They take other people's money and write reports trying to get people to invest more money".
Wait, the video said a VC manager should follow five steps, but only mentions four. What's the fifth one?
I think it would be better to invest in stock market and choose individual stocks wisely and buy and hold then invest in a venture capital firm. You can get similar return with less risk and more liquidity
The reason that these companies often fail is because they were never backed by a real product or service that people wanted or cared about. Throwing around money only goes so far but for a lot of venture capitalists it's a numbers game and every so often you will back that super successful business making the previous losses seem acceptable. Of course, if people had better foresight and insight then they wouldn't need to make such wasted investments.
Great video!
Thank you!
I had watch the opening again. That sarcasm was just too good. Had me loling at the gym.
Please do a similar video on vulture capitalism
I had to read that 3times
WtF
I know is best to invest in safe heaven assets cos profit level usually drops in these times, but I have been reading articles of people that were still able to gross heavy profit up to $580k during this crash...... what is the best strategy at this time
Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. hence I will suggest you get yourself a financial-Advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist. Apple, Merck, General Dynamics, Cheniere Energy and Marriott International are prime candidates.
I agree , I assumed I had a hang of the market at first, I gained $50k one year and I was super elated, not until I stumbled upon a portfolio-adviser whose been guiding me since the market's been sham after the pandemic, to my utmost surprise I netted a whooping $280K during this dip, that made it clear there's more to the market that we avg. joes don't know
I lost over $9000 this week, which is money I'm putting aside for retirement ; who is this individual that advises you?
A coach is essential in a volatile market, and "Viviana Marisa Coelho" is my advisor. She has years of experience in the financial field, so you can easily look her up.
Thanks, I saw Viviana Marisa Coelho on google l, read through her credentials on her website and it's top-notch! I wrote her an email, hopefully she’s accepting new intakes.
04:11…..” because according to the SEC,….venture capital is less risky when there is a middleman, don’t ask questions”.
So evil,….so true 😞🥃🥃🥃🥃🤡🤡🤡👿
Does anyone know what make the purple fleece in the thumbnail is by any chance? 😊
You forgot the bit in a buyout fund where they transfer the massive loan onto the company they just bought, weighing it down for the rest of its existence
Putting well-earned money into the stock market can be over emphasize for first time investors,unlike a bank where interest is sure thing! Well, basically time are uncertain, the market is out of control,and banks are gradually failing. I'm working on a ballpark estimate of $5m for retirement, and I've a good 6 figure loaded up for this, could there be any opportunity a boomer like me?
There are a lot of strategies to make tongue wetting profits especially in a down market but such sophisticated trades can only be carried out by proper market experts.
That’s true , I’ve been getting assisted by Jessica Katherine Ellis for almost a year now , I started out less than $200k and I’m just $19,000 short of half a million in profits.
@@rileymolnarPlease how can I reach her?
I think I should try this woman I've heard so much good news about her
Google her name and reach her out through her page.she understands the job perfectly
*JESSICA KATHERINE ELLIS*
She appears to be well-educated and well-read I ran a google search on her name and came across her website; Thank You for sharing.
Allen Stanford comes to mind. Who remembers the ill-fated Stanford Super Series?
6:15 so basically shark tank...
So basically, "you have money, I won't question how" and you can fail as often as needed.....but these peasents need college
This has been happening the past 5-7 years in the cannabis industry as well.
Ahhhh. The unsettling truth of our tech economy... excellent.
Venture (verb): dare to do something or go somewhere that may be dangerous or unpleasant.
Capital (noun): wealth in the form of money or other assets owned by a person or organization or available or contributed for a particular purpose.
I was thinking of making a start up getting money then making it look like it failed is that a good idea
Thank you for this wonderful video! I have incurred so much losses trading on my own....I trade well on demo but I think the real market is manipulated.... Can anyone help me out or at least tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Same here, My portfolio has been going down the drain while I try trading,l just don't know what I do wrong
Trading with an expert is the best strategy for newbies and busy investors who have little or no time to monitor trade
I strongly advise you against self trading, it's really dangerous and had brought so many investors down, you need someone with the knowledge and strategies, someone dedicated to the crypto currency market business, and I will strongly recommend expert, Mrs Mary Linda
Wow I'm just shock you mentioned and recommended Expert Mrs Mary Linda,I thought I'm the only trading with her
YOU DON'T NEED TO BE SHOCK BECAUSE I'M ALSO A HUGE BENEFICIARY OF expert MRS MARY LINDA
I am happy VC exists sometimes those are the only ones that will support an idea, and allow people without money to start their own business, I dont get all the hate in the comments if someone with money wants to help a business and get something in return
So, would you be ok with a VC that invested and pushed to bring to market a b2b app that said how much sugar and other chemicals to put in food so it kills ppl in exactly 20 years if they consume the products?
Because it would be successful. You will have the conpany that makes the product profit from it, then you would have big pharma that benefits from it...
I didn't want to go with a more exagersted example like apps for child kidnaping for humman trafficking or other dark stuff, that are in development by the way 😂
What a disgusting Economy system we Have Morally speaking we shouldn't be doing this.
I wish there was a summary at the end. With your dry delivery, it's sometimes hard to discern when you're joking and when you're serious, which makes it a bit confusing
Venture capital is gambling in the end
Investors needs to start doing their own due diligence into the companies they are looking into investing in!
All of these requirements for "accredited" investors appear to mean nothing at best and gaslighting...also at best. VC is like acting: a performance inherently dishonest.
um isnt trevor nilto already out of jail ? i heard he got 2 years, some time ago
I encourage everyone to boycott all wallstreet corporations and to divest from wallstreet. For the average American it's a loosing proposition and anyone who says otherwise is profiting from wallstreet and have an inherent desire take your money
I would love some advice, how can I sell a business idea? Where and how do I contact venture capitalists to pitch my idea ?
To be frank, if you need to get info like that from UA-cam, you're at least some years away from being at a place where you could even pitch a start-up. And you probably lack even basic understanding of the current state of the startup space. Not meant to insult you, just a friendly tip you are free to ignore.
Right now VCs will only listen to you if you
- have someone to offer a great intro to them somehow (Some C-Level person or well funded investor for example),
-are in a hype market (which is usually not what average people are hyping now, but what they are going to hype in about 4 months, as you need to account for time to market, etc)
- are already well financed or liquid and you just need scaling money.
In general, you don't pitch ideas. You pitch a product/service and a vision for it. They'll make sure your path there is valid and even then they still likely won't invest.
Right now the market is oversaturated and VCs are realizing lots of startups they have stakes in are pretty much already fucked, they just haven't run out of money yet, but the climate has shifted so much, most paths to envisioned success are no longer valid.
So they gradually started looking for startups with short time to market periods and existing revenue streams so they can get money back earlier, as some of them are likely not going to be able to offload their startups anymore and they always knew a lot of them will never become profitable. They just hoped to scale them enough to offload them, before someone noticed. FTX, etc.
@@MrGruzefix thanks for the advice … no offence taken. But I probably shouldn’t have mentioned venture capital.
To clarify, I want to ‘sell my idea ’ … not actually start the business…
To be more specific, it’s an idea for an App. I would want to sell the idea along with the business plan
Im getting the strangest sense of deja vu
Did I miss something, or is there no way for an established VC to fail?
I mean, a revolution, but for some reason people are a little hesitant about taking that option.
Was anybody forced to watch a long ad without a skip button?
Varoufakis is quite right, whatever this bs is, it isn't capitalism anymore, it is some weird bankruatism
It’s betting on people that’s what it is throw money at an idea that might blow up
Making the right moves just as this dip is crippling everything should be the major concern of investors, some are pulling out due to the decline caused by the dip and just so to say i'm glad Mrs. Serra Caroliina is my backbone on this one, insuring my investments and still making heavy gains ... thanks to Serra Caroliina
I'm surprised you know her too. I've been making a lot of profits investing with her for a few months now.
.Awesome "Remarks Mrs Caroliina changed my life because of the huge profits I got from her. I make over £4,000 from investing with her each week all I have is positive results from her good task..
@@alvarosebastian3562 That's great news. But PLs how do you do this... can I seek an audience with her ????
was skeptical at first until I decided to try. I made over $48,880 on my first trade. It was huge returns and awesome ! Well I can't say much here.
She will guide you ⬇️
It seems like tech companies sell their products at 30 % completion.
I’d rather buy stocks and real estate and sit down
They just throw money at things and sit back and watch people at work 😂 (sounds great ngl)
STEP 5?
Just 2 weeks after the video from Good Work with the same title 😅
The fake it till you make it mentality..? Yeah, its effing bullshit coz its a fricking scam.
Honestly, it sounds like pyramid scheme.
This is crazy cause we need more people on the planet next 30 / 40 years 😅😅😅
how do you make a small fortune, you start out with a large fortune :P
"too many dollars, not enough sense."
To my understanding this just proves how much we need an edged as an investors because playing the market like everyone else just isn’t good enough. I’ve been quite ensured about investing in this current market and at the same time I feel it’s the best time to get started on the market,what are your thoughts?!
Thoughts are you are a bot.
i thought there was 5 steps? you stopped at step 4
What if you have a net worth of $1M but its all in your house? Does’t count. But… what if you sell your house, now you have a net worth of $1M … all in cash. Qualifies?
You said 5 steps but provided 4!
10 seconds in and im laughing already
deja deja deja deja vu
Sir,than those failed strategies wil move into the developing countries. 👎🏾
Money money money
Top-shelf gambling it is.
Lmao the implosions has yet to come
A perfect balance then watch aba n preach

Short answer: shark tank
Money laundering ops.
