    ⭐️ Key things you will learn from this episode:

    - Why Venture is wrong to almost everyone but it is marketed to all of us…
    - What to do if you really want to earn a lot of money vs. what to do if you want to stay independent and call the shots.
    - What you have to prove to your customer to get their support and trust

    - …and how Apple is compromising their core values on the App Store.

    🔥 Highlights:

    - 15-20 venture-backed companies still exist after 5 years - a huge amount go bankrupt. Listen to learn why.
    - If you want to make money, get a job in Amazon, Facebook, Google and get promoted a few times. If you want to stay independent, call the shots, take the meetings that you want to take - venture is not for you either.
    - The number of folks who make millions of dollars from an acquisition of a venture-backed startup is vanishingly small - less 1 in 1000 companies that try to raise venture will get to that scenario…
