    Real talk. No fluff, no agenda. Very rare. He’s gone beyond the need to sell anything. He can say what he knows. Thanks Elad.

  • @rlywhocares
    this guy speaks so quick the density of value output is overwelming. I often watch / listen YT vids @ 1.25-1.5 speed. here I had to switch to 0.75 :D
  • @bschmidt1
    Half the companies I've worked for Elad was involved with lol, this guy is everywhere!
  • @utuberay007
    Never knew about Elad before, but gained lot of knowledge with this interview, thank you EO
  • @bedit2064
    This is so impressive. Valuable video, thank you EO
  • @pcodes
    Thank you so much for this video(and all the other videos). I was in a tug war in my mind for whether I really need a co-founder or not. The story I've telling myself until now that if I don't have a co-founder than I'm somewhat reducing the possibility of failing by 50% (as PG says 50% of startups failed due to co-founder conflicts) but getting this advice from a man who built and invested in such a variety of high growth and super impactful companies is surely one of the best advice.

    Bros is walking YC in terms of investments. I think he attends the demo day a lot.

    15:05 sometimes people just get lucky. Jason Calacanis came to mind 😅
