Are you wearing 2 watches? If yes is it because one tracks health? If yes I have a business that is the solution to that problem…… I hope to talk you you in person about this one day
Doing darn good. Thank you for sharing.
This channel is a great watch for us here at OPAH. We’re building the future of creative hire through visual ai matching. The segment about branding and word of mouth couldn’t be truer for a company like ours.
The office is coming together nicely!
Sick content 😎💪🏿
So how can I become an inter?
A day inside a fast-moving AI startup in NYC shows an innovation, and pressure
Took today to hit the grill and watch this episode and binge watched the previously watched episodes. This is really some heavy hitting content. Awesome B_Dub. Nickname alert!

Great vid Brandon! Strong relationships are definitely the key for success in VC and life in general. Good luck on the journey to $1 B
My man is working. Love this series.
Great content as always, Mr. Bryant! Quick question: Would you ever consider funding a tech startup that solves a major pain point faced by retail financial market traders (like Forex)?
Do you play golf?
This just came to mind since I know you have referenced sports a few times. Would a VC be similar to a sports scout? Technically, the outside eye doesn't see or know the work they put into scouting talent. It's a gamble selecting someone or referencing "talent," and you don't see the profit or ROI until later on. However, thanks for the content and for educating us.
It was also great to see Gabby on camera, and learn of her meteoric rise and arc from HC Intern to HC Partner. I'd love to see a vid about the Ladies of Harlem Capital. And just for kicks, what songs are you singing lol
I did see that you reject 99% of the submissions/pitches you receive. I'd love to see a video about the anatomy of the 1% you deem acceptable and ultimately decide to fund.
love the content, keep it up
What's your burn rate ?
keep the great content coming
Loved every minute of this one! Thanks for taking us along!
