What You Got

Last week I did a 77 minute interview with Yaro. Yaro just let me go and tell my life story from high school to present. That always dangerous for me cause often I give out a lot of stuff or talk smack when I should just keep my mouth shut... but its all good. During the interview I talk about the 6 year journey where I went from a lot of the business we have built over the years... Many educational experiences a long the way that many would probably consider failures. Also a long the way I talked about how we are now contributing financially/programmaticly/technically/marketing to lots of new businesses and if someone out there is hustling and needs a investor to contact us. Well I think I was misunderstood because I got a FLOOD of emails from people with "ideas". They claimed they had an idea for a great website (which they wont disclose of course) but they have no money and no experience and no confidence to try it themselves. Why in the hell would I want to invest in a idea that the founder doesn't even believe in himself to try it... ??? I started AND failed at trying many ideas while working 9-5. I was fired from 2 jobs most people would kill to have because I worked on my own stuff all the time... These are people we are looking for. Ideas, programmers, and marketers are A DIME A DOZEN. People who are willing to put in hard work to get through the dip are in VERY short supply. That is also why I said we don't care about your technical ability or experience as much as your work ethic in regards to our summer internships And speaking of those... well that is another post ;) Programing & marketing I can train or get you training. Work ethic and confidence in yourself I cant help you with. So what you got?
