Product placement

Forbes: it merely APPEARS as a logo on a post, and removing it would not change what happens in the video. Samalytics: it ACTS as the source of the post being discussed, and removing it would change what happens in the video.

On-screen text

Owning 100% of a $150M company beats owning 10% of a $1B company. Founders love chasing billion-dollar valuations, but every funding round costs equity, and equity is the one thing you can't earn back. Forbes Samalytics VC is a thing, it's not everything #fyp #finance #bootstrapping #founder #investor #capital

Transcript

I always knew there were weird people on the internet but it's like really jarring when you come across a weird person on the internet just scrolling on my For You page this morning and I come across this post owning 100% of a $150M company beats owning 10% of a $1B company. Founders love chasing billion-dollar valuations, but every funding round costs equity, and equity is the one thing you can't earn back. And I'm like, weird, that sounds so familiar. Uh, because on October or sorry, August 24th, I posted this exact caption. Like literally word for word. Um, and she previously had the caption as like, VC is a thing, it's not everything. And I immediately comment and I'm like, girl, really? Like I took a screenshot of my post and I put it there. I'm not saying I'm a grand master of this thought, you could say the same thing. And I wouldn't have said like she copied me, but like it's just weird. And then of course, she blocks me and then I go back on my personal account and comment from there and being like, why would you like, girl, come on. Like, just like, when not behave like this, okay?
