In the last ~900 days, here's what I've been lucky enough to experience:
• Built a company now valued at $10M (@crshmarket)
• Raised just shy of $1M from BIG executives
• Generated 1B+ lifetime views on social media
• Sold 15,000+ tickets for my live shows
• Went 27/27 on sold-out comedy shows
• Earned 18 national media features, including Fox News
• Moved to NYC with my best friends
• Dropped out of a top business school to bet on myself
But the part I'm most proud of? I started with pretty much nothing.
I delivered DoorDash orders on foot for over 100 miles to fund my first startup. I spent months walking around campus in a Halloween costume with a QR code taped to my back just to get people to come to one event.
Looking back, none of it really makes sense. And that's exactly the point. The goal was never money or status. The goal was to live a life so ridiculously full that, 50 years from now, I can look back and say I took every shot I had.
The dream isn't to be rich. The dream is to have no regrets.
When a fan says “hey, you’re the @mytechceoo” I wanna yell back, “but also an entrepreneur, investor and artist”. Good fun and we made the right call with @crshmarket as today’s winner!
Indian parents' dream for their child:
• Become a doctor, engineer, or lawyer
• Graduate from a top university
• Get married and have kids
And then there's me:
• Dropped out of college
• Building a prediction market
• Hosts a comedy dating show
• Made out with a man on stage for investor attention
Little me would fuck me up.
In the last 3 years, our team @CRSHMARKET has generated over 1B views across social media.
We're building the first livestream prediction market with 60 second settlements, while producing all of our content in house.
Our goal has always been to make betting feel as seamless and natural as watching a livestream.
Curious who they're talking about 👀
A service blueprint is really an honesty test. It forces you to draw every actor, including the one most infrastructure companies leave off the page: the person tapping the button. Get the customer wrong and the whole layer underneath optimizes for the wrong thing.
For anyone wondering why I kissed a man in front of 400 people for investor money, here's the explanation:
I'm a comedian. I've performed on 26 stages, gone on 2 national tours, and entertained over 15,000 students live. I've generated more than 300M views through my content and stunts. My shows are rated R. We do the most degenerate, ridiculous shit possible and put it on the internet.
While I'm still exploring my sexuality, I do not like men.
I kissed the guy because the audience was booing and nobody else would do it. If I don't commit to the bit, the show falls flat, gets rated lower, and people leave with a sour taste in their mouths.
Life is hard.
Never thought I’d wake up and see myself trending for what might be the most degenerate thing ever posted on this app.
Somehow, it’s also generated a ridiculous number of investor inbound messages.
I’m going to claim that this is bullish.
Tune in Tuesday at 5:30 PM ET to watch the first livestream prediction market in action.
You won't understand it until you see it.
