Summary: Entrepreneur Justin Kan (@JustinKan) sold his first company on eBay for just over $250,000. He sold his next company, an online streaming platform for video games (Twitch.tv) to Amazon for $970M. Cory Levy (Internapalooza, After School) talks with Justin Kan on this OFF RCRD interview about Justin’s journey as an entrepreneur, his advice for others, and much more. To someone just looking at his success with Twitch and new company Atrium, it might seem as though Justin doesn’t make mistakes. However, Justin is willing to discuss his failures along with advice for other young entrepreneurs. Asked by Cory where most startup founders go wrong, Justin says that some founders “don't base what they're doing on reality or customer feedback, or feedback from trying things.” Instead, Justin says, “they base it on their preconceived notions of how something should work or their own limited worldview or what's in their head that they really want to create, and one in 20 or maybe even one in 10 get it right.” Here all the advice that Justin Kan has for you on this episode of OFF RCRD with Cory Levy.
