What Silicon Valley knows about Self Funding But Won’t Tell You #ENGR145<\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Super majority of time, Silicon Valley luminaries say “self fund”. Most newbies here it as ‘sell fun’. Self funding is an oxymoron. Self funding actually takes place by other people pumping money into You, Inc. Because when alphas are actually saying equals, “do appx 30-35 steps that I actually know but cannot articulate”. I can!! I can articulate the tactics cuz I’m smarter than you and dumber than you.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Call me, ‘found in translation’.<\/div>\n

Call me alpha male whisperer bc I know I figured it out. Cuz I sit First Chair Entrepreneurship and Motivationally Listen. You’re welcome for this signature business recipe herein referred to as “#SelfFundSellFun”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Under the above sub-curational hashtag, i reveal the concept of self funding. I take you down the rabbit hole of “What Silicon Valley Knows About Self Funding But Is Not Conscious Competent Enough to Dumb It Down For You”<\/div>\n

Meet Lisa Falzone via my YouTube. She self funded for a while<\/div>\n
She interned for a while<\/div>\n
Now, she’s legendary. <\/div>\n

Now, you know what Silicon Valley knows about self funding. No, you can’t be my intern.<\/div>\n

Cameron Teitelman was never my intern. I was the Intern to his co-founder, Dan Ha. And Wesley Leung’s and Diana Lee’s intern.<\/div>\n

Every other summer, I’d intern. But that’s a different story. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
