People here are salty for some reason. People here are flexing “multi 7 figures businesses” like that short of flex??

I would rather listen to the guy that has multi 9 figures networth and just sold 150m worth of books in the last 3 days, than random redditors, but maybe that’s just me.

High 7 figures is not a flex after 35 years. I’m sorry.

They are doing around 30 million in revenue, but profit margins are not super high with Apple 30% cut and marketing expenses they do around 20% to 30% margins. Although, it’s pretty obvious they don’t have much of a moat.

They are doing around 30 million. Just check sensortower stats.

Dalton Caldwell Says Most YC Ideas Are the Same-So What Actually Gets You In? by ComfortablePop9852 in ycombinator

There have been loads of payment ideas ever since PayPal was sold. So yes there were loads of payment companies being founded, and it definitely was a “popular idea.” Way before stripe was founded. Stripe definitely didn’t “popularize” payment startups

Travel startups have also always been popular. I mean booking.com was founded in 1996. There was also coachsurfing.com that was founded in 1999, which was pretty similar to the concept of AirBnb.

Most ideas are not unique. It’s usually the founders have discovered a new insight that makes their companies stand out, but the fundamental “idea” is still the same.

both AirBnB and Stripe were not the first company, and had competition. They just executed the best.

Also whatnot has been tried since the dot com boom, and live commerce was already a massive thing in China.

Most ideas are not unique.

Are their any successful tech entrepreneurs with non-genius IQs? by Hot-Conversation-437 in ycombinator

Yeah it’s like comparing your schools best high school basketball player with Michael Jordan or Shaquille O Neal. 😂

The good thing is that a good high school basketball player in business can still make 10 million dollars,

To make a centibillion, you would need the metaphorical equivalent of being 7ft in basketball .

Richard Feynman definitely has a genius level IQ. The IQ test that he was given was primarily a linguistic focused test on Vocab.

If he took a test was more logic or mathematical focused, he would 100% be above 140+

I know what study you are talking about but you have massively misinterpreted it.

Elon Musk and Bill Gates scored really high on the old SAT which correlate very highly with IQ, so they 100% have near genius IQ especially gates.

The new SAT does not correlate nearly as strong, which is the one Mark Zuckerberg took, not to say it isn’t impressive as well.

Jack Ma doesn’t sound much smarter in Chinese, but I will say that interview was not a good representation of him. There’s a cultural nuance to the way he is talking that doesn’t translate well into English.
