    abbsolutely correct, without a working product, no investors.

    This concept works if one has sufficient funding to build the business
    However many people are seeking funding because they have developed excellent products but don’t have the funding to market
    Perhaps you will address in another video

    okay so how about getting that first round if you’re broke and trying to start a company from the ground up?

    So, don't raise money is the answer. By the time you are killing it in the marketplace you don't need investor capital anymore

    Let me summarize what Gary is saying here in just a few words: "F-You and your little Speculative IDeas, PunK!"

    Yep! Agreed. I watch alot of your videos and I think so many are uplifting and positive. This one, I sense so much frustration. I have asked you and your company this very question and I wish I had seen this first. Sort of makes me feel like an idiot, but the clear, direct bottom line is appreciated and valuable.

    Love it! Short and Precise!

    When I meet GaryVee, I will remind him of this video! This is the best way to raise startup capital! No one is gonna give u free money if u don't have a functioning product with real customers & real revenue. Go on a hunger strike, stay in a garage, make friendships with programmers, work less paying jobs for a year! Am assuring u of success
