    *Summary*
    1. What is a startup accelerator?
    - 3-4 months.
    - 10-30 companies share the same office space.
    - $15k-50k in exchange for 5-10%.
    - Office hours with experts and investors.
    - Ends with a demo day.
    2.What is its mission?
    - Become a venture investor.
    - Answer the question: "How to find, work, and grow with the best startups in the world?".
    3. Bootstrapping is important.
    - Increases the chance of success for both the founders and accelerators.
    - Crucial skill for founders to survive regardless of how much funding they could raise.
    - Learn the real-world experience → Find a real-world problem.
    4.The grass is always greener on the other side
    - Living in Silicon Valley is easier to raise capital, but there're other challenges to manage, e.g. high cost.
    - Don't blame that your local ecosystem doesn't have the capital to fund you. If you believe in your business enough, go travel and pitch to as many investors as possible.

      No demo day, no office hours, no office space, everything is remote with their bullshit fake virus, so I'd say it isn't worth it.

      ​@@alexkace6620 I'm pretty aware of that.
      THEY have been announcing for 20 years, I knew that was coming since Christine Lagarde ( IMF president ) went public about the reset plan in 2014 ,which is why I went all-in on Bitcoin that year since they can't reset a distributed ledger.
      Klaus Schwaub ( exec chairman of the World Economic Forum ) published a book about it : Covid-19: The Great Reset
      .
      It's getting clearer and clearer but I don't think their plan includes pure-player tech companies.

      What I have going on is 2 Businesses, 1st is the juiciest, it’s a government cash advance for the COVID-19 TRACE ACT which is giving away $100 Billion in the next stimulus Bill. I qualify. I just need a Grant / Business proposal Writer & to get the proposal approved.
      The second business model is a health care housing. I have a waiting List of clients who need home but I need lots of workers the issue is the government offers a lot of unemployment which is free money.. every one is lazier now days.

    I think in the past (like 2011), there was little knowledge database online for seed stage startups. Nowadays, we can reap the benefits of a YC with reddit and youtube videos. Grow your company before exchanging equity for peanuts.

    Also... do focus on raising grants either from government or some fellowship.
    Bootstrapping + grant money is a way to go...
    Or so I think. ☺️
    Because Ether network was started this way. That guy raised money from Peter Thiel's fellowship.

    Hey, Caya! I really like your videos and hugely appreciate every content you post on this channel. Would you think about reacting to a new korean drama called Start Up that is still ongoing this moment?
    It's one of the first dramas in my limited knowledge that talks about start up businesses (hence the name). Despite the drama part of it, it actually has suprises me with a lot of unspeakable Start Up world secrets...
    Hope you can shed a touch of reality on some of the episodes and give your opinion about it yourself so it would be more educative! Best of luck, Slidebean! 🙏

    How did Steve come up with the $2.2M valuation on the 100K for 6% startup, what is the formula?

    • @EdWhiteSpyHI
      @EdWhiteSpyHI 4 роки тому +2

      The math is wrong in the video but it’s $100k/.06 = 1.667 mil (which he guessed was 2.2 mil). The logic is that you’re paying $100k for 6% of the company, so if every % is equal then 100/6=16.67 per 1%, then multiply by 100 to find out what all the percents are worth together.
      As far as how to decide a company is worth 1.667 or 2.2 mil, that’s a different story altogether, but usually accelerators have standard deals for the phase of company they target.

    Once approved for funding, how do we make sure that the Funder, will write a contract with a white soul intention that it does not cause a potential detriment to the Fundee?; This will require a video showing examples of skewed contracts( some bad hombres in the space)...the subscribers will appreciate it.
