pitching investors

Ability to tell your stories is an essential skill

Make your 1st pitch to investors from whom you do not want to get your finances

Mistake to measure size of target market

Be confident at your pitch

Click bait in internet

Start your story vision/problem description instead of chronological story

Use seth godin works, ted talks with more than 1-2 million views and yahoo news headlines to learn persuading

Question your assumptions

Capitalism & competition are antonyms

There is no need to wait to start business, you can start doing it without any credentials

Be relentless at your efforts

Trend attracts lots of people which causes competition & no differentiation, you do not want to be the next soc. network company

Avoid trends, instead work on unique mission/problem

Investors spray & pray - portfolio management, betting on companies as lotteries

Think for yourself, break through convention

Universities are like studio 54, exclusive clubs

Institutions are charging more and more but giving less and less

How to become smart - I try to talk to smart people every day

You are average of 5 people
