  • Equipped with just my laptop, I attended Vidcon - the largest Creator conference in the world, and pitched my startup to creators like ZHC, Karl Jacobs, Jesser, and more!
    My goal was not only to get these amazing creators on our cap table, but to also show you my process for cold approaching people.

    If you're in college or uni, join/create a club and pitch your club to sponsors, it's a good way to practice pitching if you aren't ready to start a company yet.

    This is probably one of the hardest thing to do for first-time entrepreneurs; to engage and interact with potential customer/investors.
    Most courses shows how it’s done theoretically. I’ve never seen an actual spontaneous one being done like this. This will definitely help people not only strategically, but also emotionally to fight that fear of engaging someone new.
    Amazing content Jay! As always. Can’t wait for the next one!

    This is super cool, congrats man! Maybe you'll cover it in the next video, but I would want to hear more about the creator's thoughts on the products and if they had any questions or first impressions after you pitched. To me, it felt like the clips were a little one-sided where you would pitch for 90% of the scene, the creator would say yes, and then the video moved on to the next creator. In interview-style vids, I think adding more time to show the interviewee's thoughts in the conversation might feel more balanced to a viewer unless they didn't really say much haha. Loved it though, looking forward to the next one!

    Oh this is that cold in person opens I been needing XD. Went to a juggling convention recently, bombed in terms of meeting people, though getting 3 people to approach me (2 taught me a cool juggling trick, 1 big shot that impressed by working on my Unity game in the hotel lobby at 5am) so still some wins I suppose. Just not as prepared as having a whole pitch for when the conversation is started. And the best part, you looked like you were just having fun.
