ABOUT MICHAEL HOUCK
After raising $10 million from a16z for my last startup and co-founding a venture fund, I bootstrapped my current startup from $0 to $100k MRR in under 2 years.

I started with 0 connections in Silicon Valley but it quickly changed my life, so I mostly talk about startups. Now my companies have generated $6+ million in revenue and I've invested early in 50+ startups including Figure.ai and Beehiiv.

Before becoming a founder, I joined Uber Eats early on (2016) and helped the company blitzscale to 10 billion deliveries before becoming a Product Manager at Airbnb where I helped build Airbnb Plus.

I'm new to YouTube but have built audiences of ~50k on LinkedIn and X in the past. Subscribe for weekly videos about startups, tech, Silicon Valley, and history.
