2:45 he meant about 19 or/ 20 years old not 1920 logically other than that great content
Great content. There is so much mis information online these days, this is quality.
11:50 It's dazzling to watch someone so accomplished be so oblivious to selection bias. His own story is replete with familial cultural capital (scion of an industrial conglomerate!) And then pointing out how great immigrants are because they have to learn the language? I'll set up a tent on the summit of K2 and then be amazed at how fit my visitors are 😂 #reversecausation
Oh come on u guys were just born in the good era and invested at the right time that’s all. It ain’t that easy to become rich now a days
I loved the fact that you made emphasis in your failures too, this couldn't have been more inspirational. Thaaanks
I sincerely thank the team for sharing these valuable experiences and insights. this Video made me look back a lot on what kind of attitude I should have from a long-term perspective. Really learned a lot. thank you team

Great video 🎉
It's always the hindsight that made everything seemed simple, yet, at that instant, a yes or no really made a great difference, either a boom or a bust, such a game, I will be delighted to take part in.
This man has certainly been successful but beyond telling me how awesome he is I watched the video for 5 minutes I didn't learn anything beyond that.
i strongly agree that threre is no other way to learn about failure than actually trying it yourself. The key to success is not avoiding failure, but failing fast and learning from it ! nice video 😁7:46
8:24 – FAIL FASTER because You can't know what works specially from any book, but you can only know what doesn't work and that is by trying.
3:54 never underestimate the power of a good kebab.. :p brilliant video, btw
This is what makes Silicon Valley great
Thank you for the insight, Saeed, furthermore, how he can manage in early stage of Plug and Play ?
the american dream is still alive! dont let these leftist liberals deter you from making money
AIRBNB IS DESTROYING THE HOUSING MARKET. STAY AT HOTELS. DONT SUPPORT AIRBNB!
Talking air
Such insteresting stories from this guys
Investment. Good info about what is good startups. And what to look in them.
Sadly Plug and Play doesn't lead funding. It only participates if there are other investors. Many of its accelerator programs (at least the ones I know in Asia) are simply partnerships with Governments or corporates. They are simply managers.
Gone are the days when they took big bets.
Seems like his family was close to the Shah and then got kicked out of Iran by the Khomeinis after the revolution !
I'm seeing grey hair now since 12 years ago when he showed his startups tour guide on one of his building. Nice guy.
A true entrepreneur will rise up on every fall till he succeeded.. after all his companies nationalised in Iran, he started a fresh in USA.
Respect you Sir 🙏
I really like this youtube channel because It has subtittle in my mother tongue. I hope they keep it, it really helpful for someone like me
He is amazing…👍
I enjoyed the insight and I appreciate some of the wisdom which might not have been obvious to a few but to those on the same trajectory, the learnings are invaluable. PS AirnB $200M lost op – good lesson learned. And people, people, people – got it
great video, Thanks @EO
@01:21 he says he's from Iran. Why are you showing a lebanese flag?
Why did you show the Lebanese flag when he said “I came originally from Iran”?
Please we want podcast version
The Lord is returning soon. If you have any level of discernment, you must see in yourself that the enemy is trying desperately to steal the innocence from our children. This is an act of true desperation from the enemy, because he knows that his end is near and he doesn’t want to be alone when he suffers for all time. Find God today because tomorrow maybe to late. No one knows the minute or hour that Jesus will return, but He will come like a thief in the night, while your sleep. “Yet I am God”. The Lord will meet you where you are in your life, Please find Him today.
According to most comments he was born and relocated to the best place and on perfect timing that is True.
But he worked his butt off to make money to invest in unicorn and non-unicorn companies.
See the important factors are working hard to have excess money and brave enough to take risk with the money.
Unless we buy lotto tickets we can't expect to win the jackpot.
One more thing he had a amazing business background which helps in saving money to invest than spending it all!
This is by far the most exciting video Ive seen in years. Thanks
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Guy had tons of money. Initial capital is the keyword.
he came from money and made some more money….next
Lol shows Lebanese flag but from Iran ? 😂
