The most underrated thing about your videos is how many startup founders are in your comments. What a Community of go getters getting inspired together.
As someone who has used Stan for years now after having a call with - Jay, I can only say, this has been much deserved! Super happy for Stan and your growth
Like you said since the beginning Harry - you wanted to be a part of a cool journey. My hope is that we live up to the hope! Really genuinely appreciate you.
You are so amazing. A true example of how utube allows us to see and learn from a highly educated, influential, inspiring person such as yourself who could otherwise only be available within the walls to a highly prestigious establishment. So happy to have just discovered your channel! A true gift. 🌞
Giving advise on being successful in a business while having your business being created (and successful) give you a lot of credibility. The fact that educating us is also natural revenue since it tells us how to find a spot in the market we fit in to then use YOUR business to make OUr ideas come together much more easily. It feels like inception but giving us education to be successful makes your business successful and I am all for that.
I agree with what everyone is saying! You’re an incredible CEO and it makes me so happy and proud to see Stan grow over the last few months! Even if I don’t know you personally, seeing someone who genuinely loves what he’s doing grow is incredible!! Honestly Stan seems like such an expansive and wholesome place to work!! I would love to join the team ngl
John, these financials and metrics are outstanding! Your passion for helping your clients grow is truly inspiring! This is my first comment I’m always for your next video and your candid content on how Stan is changing lives.
Incredible achievement in such a short period! Your company's ability to scale quickly while maintaining profitability is a testament to the strong foundation you've built. It's a clear reminder that sustainable growth often stems from focusing on product excellence and genuine customer satisfaction. 👏
I remember watching and commenting on your first video of you filming this journey and immediately subscribed bc you know what you're talking about. HOWEVER, I did not expect this amount of growth within this short period of time and I just wanna say congrats jay! Just be careful when you're winning, you might not in the good position as you think you are. Very excited to see what this company has to offer in the near future. Again congrats.
Strongly agreed re: celebrating too early - I'm already seeing the cracks show in a bunch of places, and we're pretty stressed right now just figuring out how to right the ship and make sure we're building a truly valuable, long-term focused company. Cheers on the support since day 1 and I appreciate you being along for the ride!
Hey Jay, congratulations on this great success. I love your videos and I'm learning a lot from you. Can you make a Video on how you validated your Idea and got your first customers?
This is genuinely so inspiring! Seeing this type of success so transparently is so motivating to everyone watching your videos. Thanks for always giving great insight into your processes, because there’s always people like me who appreciate it greatly!
Jay love your vids, hugely inspirational. I'm in the early days of founding a company, running into many roadblocks. Would love if you could share how you navigated the idea maze, decided on building Stan, and found your first customers!
It's insane you're coming off so genuinely confident about each stage of the journey as if it's already a certainty how you'll grow beyond this. And that's just art. Congratz on the journey, it's a pleasure to watch and later say "I was there when Jay had still 20k view videos😎 You're rocking it brother🤘
HA! To be clear - I have no idea if we'll actually nail it. I've been having a ton of questions and unknowns lately - much more than before as the complexities/tradeoffs of running a biz have grown as you get to "scale". Thanks for being a part of the journey @laifehacker!
Hey Jay, super inspired by everything you do. Quick comment tho, shouldn't your team focus on analyzing what is causing the fires to prevent them in the first place rather than scaling the firefighting team? Maybe set up a system to categorize the support tickets to understand what problems most of your clients are facing and figure out a way to prevent the biggest causes of complaints. This seems much more effective for long-term growth. I figure you have thought of this so please explain to me why I'm wrong. Best, Ezra
Great video! Would love to see some engagement/usage metrics on your key stats page (e.g., customer NPS, avg. earnings per customer, avg. time spent on platform per month) and see how those have trended over time.
Amazing content yet again. - Side quest: Does any one have a simpler retention calculation formula - for example, for M1 retention or for Month X retention.
Subscribed after your Goldman video, been following you ever since, and will continue to follow till you stop posting videos because you’re too busy managing your global workforce across multiple time zones and continents 🎉
hey jay curious to know did you start with this idea or you itterated through a bunch of ideas and stubbled upon this one? Also im very inspired and glad that i found your channel" keep Crushing It"
This comment section feels more like a linkedin post than a youtube section 😂 That being said, congrats on the growth. Looking forward to seeing what comes next! I wonder what the psychology is here that creates these conditions
Hey Jay! Freshman in college and I just wanted to say a thanks! You inspired me to initiate my start-up and provided words of comfort when times got lonely Your about to make history 😎
Hey stan absolutely love your startup - I'm just curious how you'd answer the question: how big is your market? Isn't your market capped at 400,000 (the amount of youtubers with more than 100k subscribers). Doesn't that mean your hard cap is around 250 million in revenue if you capture 100% of the market? I mean with a 10x multiple you're still at a 2B, but I'm just curious what your strategy is.
Why would his market be capped by 400,000 people or UA-camrs with more than 100 k subs lmao, Stan can be used on any social media platform including Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn… and on top of that I’m sure there are UA-camrs with less than 100 k subs that would use Stan if they had a digital product or offered coaching
Hi Jay! I've started to follow you a couple of days ago and I've just wanted to thank you for all this incredible free content and knowledge which I could learn from you. I think is essential to recognize your personal and team work, and encourage you, as a viewer who points to going far, to keep going and keep growing in your business and personal life. Furthermore, I would love to receive some starting insights from you/your team and, in the same way, keep in contact because I am sure we both will benefits from this relationship :)
Hey Jay! I have a question for you! Do you think that the social media dedicated saas market (ai growing tools) is saturated? If not any advice/idea you have in mind? Much love from spain, congrats on Stan❤️
Revenue isn't profit, so are you actually already profitable? Or is it still only working because you are backed by investors. Nothing against it but just wondering where you fall in to the landscape of different startups but also approaches of building a business.
Hey Man , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with Viral Content ideas in your niche , Script , editing , thumbnail , SEO , Growth and analysis , Leads and appointments for your business , etc in all to you ! Pls let me know what do you think ?

A tremendous business being built in all the right ways! Onwards and upwards, together!

Jay love your vids, hugely inspirational. I'm in the early days of founding a company, running into many roadblocks. Would love if you could share how you navigated the idea maze, decided on building Stan, and found your first customers!
Cheers Kyle! I cover a lot of this in my step-by-step how to start a biz video!
Having these videos only get 20k views is insane. These are super high quality and you provide so much value
It's insane you're coming off so genuinely confident about each stage of the journey as if it's already a certainty how you'll grow beyond this. And that's just art.

@@jayhoovy you'll figure it out. Period!
Amazing growth! Evidence of your work ethic and drive to succeed. Thanks for the transparency and free resource as always. You're a legend brother
You're a legend Jacob. Really appreciate you being here for the journey :)
Hey Jay, super inspired by everything you do. Quick comment tho, shouldn't your team focus on analyzing what is causing the fires to prevent them in the first place rather than scaling the firefighting team? Maybe set up a system to categorize the support tickets to understand what problems most of your clients are facing and figure out a way to prevent the biggest causes of complaints. This seems much more effective for long-term growth.
I figure you have thought of this so please explain to me why I'm wrong.
Best,
Ezra
love the authenticity and transperecy! hope you keep crushing it and grow to a billion dollar company!
Loving the journey Jay! You have an awesome team by the sounds of it! If you ever need a product manager in the future, let me know:)!
Congrats for listed on Forbes Jay !!! greetings from Indonesia
Jay, you're such an inpiration for me! I'm working on my first video now and seeing this 🙌
you are a gold mine for aspiring entrepreneurs. Thank you so much. I hope I get a chance to meet you one day and repay this debt
Cheers Filippo! Repay me by doing good in this world and spreading the love
This is so inspiring. Which 1 marketing channel has been the most succesfull so far ?
Jay this was so sick - thanks for keeping it real with all the numbers too.
Please take this company public! I’d love to invest.
Congratulations! 🎉
Great video! Would love to see some engagement/usage metrics on your key stats page (e.g., customer NPS, avg. earnings per customer, avg. time spent on platform per month) and see how those have trended over time.
Congrats Jay. Well deserved outcome!
Been following you since the beginning, congrats! How does the valuation work when you're doing 25M in ARR? Keep rocking man, love the content!
Loving the journey Jay, enjoying the ride. Looking forward to seeing the heights you’ll soon reach 💯.
Thanks for being part of the journey :)
Keep crushing it!
THE wallstreetoasis?? I grew up on you king. Cheers!
Hey! Amazing content! Thanks so much 😄 Question is the $25 ARR net revenue? The GMV part confused me a bit. Regardless, congrats!!!

Dam mannnnn ! Congrats !!!!

Timothy this is so kind. Genuinely appreciate you so much for being here for the journey. I’ll see you at the top :)
how is this free . these videos are crazy good!
what is never mentioned is the costs.. the cost of growth
He said profitable about 2-3 mins in the video... Given he was a banker I'd hope that means actual profit rather than just contribution margin
Also he said most is organic so that also suggests unit economics are good
$100 million ARR next 🚀
hey jay curious to know did you start with this idea or you itterated through a bunch of ideas and stubbled upon this one? Also im very inspired and glad that i found your channel" keep Crushing It"
Amazing video, glad I found your channel. Subscribed!
Also looking forward to your video on Networking lol
Fabulous Jay!
This comment section feels more like a linkedin post than a youtube section 😂
That being said, congrats on the growth. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!
I wonder what the psychology is here that creates these conditions
Did u hire someone to code ur website ?
So happy for u man
Thank you Jamal! Means a lot :)
Not even Sleepy Joe can stop you Jay!
Congrats!
Hey Jay! Are you looking to hire firefighters?

Is Stan the same as School?

I know UA-camrs with 10k Subscribers that use stan

Great content
Thank you Michael!
Is this $28M in SaaS fees? Or also the revenue earned by creators?
Revenue isn't profit, so are you actually already profitable? Or is it still only working because you are backed by investors. Nothing against it but just wondering where you fall in to the landscape of different startups but also approaches of building a business.
Fully profitable
Why don't you scale the pipe -- i.e hire more employees?
Hey Man , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with Viral Content ideas in your niche , Script , editing , thumbnail , SEO , Growth and analysis , Leads and appointments for your business , etc in all to you ! Pls let me know what do you think ?
