Google I/O 2011: How to Get Your Startup Idea Funded by Venture Capitalists

[noletolucas]

Well, SADLY neither JotSpot nor Scavenger seems to exist anymore...

so we're taking advices from people who failed 2 or 3 startups... hummm. Not saying it's bad. Failure is also good as experience. Just saying! :P

[autovance]

Brilliant!!

[Dragonheart7000]

To the boner comments. His pants are trash, granted, but learn your own goddamn anatomy. Boner would be much lower.

LMAO @ the host seemed to be aggrevated when grabbing the mic back from the poor lad who ended up with it ther whole time. LOL.

I need to find a Real Estate Venture Capital Firm...do anyone have any good suggestions?

[LonricDemosCompany]

Great video. One main thing every start up needs is a great video demo for their product or service. That is what my company does for startups. Video demos are basically commercials. Businesses need to understand how important it is to have one of these. What better way to attract investors and customers. It's just as important as a restaurant needing a kitchen.

I've been trying to promote my green energy idea, The Traffic Wheel. Using only the gravity of passing cars, this device could rival hydropower in industrial power production. So far, the only interest I am getting is from cult-like groups like the Venus Project, who want to take the idea and give me no money. There is a link to the idea on my page and you have to enter "browse gallery" when you get there.

@ethanradd no, you haven't been wasting your time. PHP can still teach you good practices and programming concepts. The important thing is learning how to program. Also, many companies still hire for PHP jobs. Ruby on Rails is very popular now. Django with python is good too (python is a good language to know a

So why would php not be allowed at Google and what does Google use then?

[britishcoder]

@chikanub PHP isn't allowed at Google because everything there is built so that it runs on Google's massive infrastructure, which runs on their own database system and Python. There are some things that don't run on Python, but virtually everything does and PHP is just a no no.

[DelvarWorld]

@chikanub Comment part 1: PHP is considered by many to be a bad language for many reasons. Up until PHP5 the language plain sucked (no exceptions, wishy-washy OOP implementation). PHP has always been notoriously slow, inconsistent naming conventions, very easy to write bad code with, gross inconsistencies between versions, inconsistent method return values, and many, many more things. It is kind of a joke language amongst more entrenched developers.

[DelvarWorld]

@DelvarWorld Comment part 2: However, consider that massively popular sites (Wikipedia, Facebook, Digg) are written in PHP. It is easy to get off the ground running quickly with PHP, which makes it a popular choice for developers who want to ship something quickly.

I obviously couldn't tell you exactly why Google condemns PHP or what exactly they are using, but it doesn't surprise me in the least that they are staying away from it.

[ethanradd]

@DelvarWorld :( so have I been wasting my time learning PHP, this kinda sucks ...can you recommend which languages I should prioritize, I'm a beginner, still learning ...want to be a web developer

[antuanrevolve]

@DelvarWorld they are using c,c++ for there main background..., dont remember the reference link right now... and its also to add, PHP is FREE, not really because its easy....

[antuanrevolve]

@DelvarWorld they are using c,c++,python,java for there main background, which involves CGI scripts..., dont remember the reference link right now... and its also to add, PHP is FREE, not really because its easy....

[Sicaine]

Great... a bunch of 3 guys with good connections telling nobody how to make a start up.

It is really easy how to manage a startup: Find the right people who will help you...

@OptimizationTutor nobody will steal your idea. Just make it and show people. Otherwise it will never ever happen at all

[kneet101]

@Sicaine people do steal ideas all the time thats why they have non disclosure agreements when u pitch etc

[sathvikmail]

17:30 ! invaluable question and an awesome answer ! Thanks for sharing.

[AbdulRButt]

This video is full of valuable information, thank you for sharing

[JonSu123]

Cool tips guys... couldn't resist to watch it to the end to gather any useful information!



[OptimizationTutor]

I am shocked that very few people have watched this video. These guys are the right ones to learn from. It's almost a commentary on modern society. I have a great business idea but I'm afraid it will get stolen. Not just an idea, it's mostly built. In my first experiment building Android apps I got 50k total downloads & 12k active users in first 2 months. NDA's don't mean a thing these days. How do you find capital when someone can out market you because you don't have much cash?

[wayneharrel]

@OptimizationTutor I agree
