Past simple

Previously on Startup I founded a startup called notvine.com where you can share 6.1 second videos

The superlative

I then brought in three of my friends to help me build the most innovative video platform, and I met up with Arya

We secretly hate each other and constantly compare our dick size.

I'm just relaxing now. Trying to figure out what you do next

You know managing all these relationships at once

What excites you about the relationship you have with your employees?

Wait, what? No, I was talking about my tinder relationship. God you never listen to me

But to be honest, I just can't get Arya off my mind

Oh he's just some startup founder. Uh we recently played chess-

Can you tell me a little bit about your relationship with Joma?

He was in the study room struggling with a simple assignment

Thank God cause I just couldn't focus. I was about to give up

Something else was consuming him. I could see that he was pretty broken at the time

So I thought I could bring him under my wing

I gave him a better place to stay, better resources, better contacts, a better life

Nobody wanted to give him a chance, but I saw the potential in him

He even got me all the textbooks I needed for school

He even guided me through my academic career

He's the reason why I am...who I am today

From algorithms to statistics to cryptocurrencies

He would have been nothing without me. All those internships.

He got those through me...except Microsoft. That was more him

I think one day I just realized that he wasn't the selfless person I thought he was

He even kicked me out of the house. I mean I appreciate everything he's done for me

But I mean come on man where the fuck was I supposed to go. He knew I had nothing

You know I should have known...people like him, they don't hang out with people like me

- It was humiliating
- It was humiliating

Even if he had exterior motives to bring me in

I still don't know what he wanted from me, but obviously I didn't have it anymore

I didn't ask why I mean, I didn't deserve his kindness

I've never confronted him about it because it just wouldn't matter

While making him feel the pain that I felt

I'll make him regret everything that he did

Alright guys, so...today I paid a consultant to make this video for us

It's gonna tell us you know how to think about MVPs, so

- Wait what's a LeBron?
- Oh he's the MVP

Alright whatever. Alright, let's just play the video

So the biggest problem that startups run into is

Creating something that nobody wants to buy

This wastes years of work and thousands of dollars only to leave you broke and unemployed

I thought I'd go over the concept of an MVP, and how this can help you grow your company

So what is an MVP? This often gets confused with most valuable player

But I think that comparison is kind of unfair because

If you're trying to start a startup, chances are you have zero athletic ability

Instead MVP here means minimum viable product

A rough version of your idea that takes a minimal amount of effort

But it's still good enough that users can get a taste of the full product

Similar to how dating someone is sort of a taste

Of what marriage will be like and in my case I've been told it taste like insecurity and an absentee father

Now the reason you want to build an MVP is because it lets you learn what your customers

like and don't like as quickly as possible
