The a16z Show
Jake Paul & Anti Fund: From Creator to Investor

But yeah, I think things now have to be like 10, 20, $30 million opportunities

The a16z Show
Jake Paul & Anti Fund: From Creator to Investor

for me to spend time on it and so i think it's pretty measurable um from that side of things to the you know figure out if if it's exciting in that sense um and then i think just on the besides the money thing and just brand building i've just been doing it for so long that it's just like instinctual like is this a good idea

The a16z Show
Jake Paul & Anti Fund: From Creator to Investor

Yes or no.

The a16z Show
Jake Paul & Anti Fund: From Creator to Investor

And it's pretty, pretty obvious.

The a16z Show
Jake Paul & Anti Fund: From Creator to Investor

But there are strategy talks and high level people that huddle around the board.

The a16z Show
Jake Paul & Anti Fund: From Creator to Investor

And sometimes I'll film a piece of content and

The a16z Show
Jake Paul & Anti Fund: From Creator to Investor

Maybe not post it because it doesn't make sense.

The a16z Show
Jake Paul & Anti Fund: From Creator to Investor

So there is like processes and teams that look at everything and conversations and it is pretty strategic, but a lot of it also is just like instinctual and on the fly and it becomes more and more obvious as time goes on what the good opportunities are.

The a16z Show
Jake Paul & Anti Fund: From Creator to Investor

I would say that not all press is good press for certain people.

The a16z Show
Jake Paul & Anti Fund: From Creator to Investor

For me, yes, because I can like survive it and like... You're anti-fragile.

The a16z Show
Jake Paul & Anti Fund: From Creator to Investor

Yeah, and just...

The a16z Show
Jake Paul & Anti Fund: From Creator to Investor

It's, you know, what are they going to say?

The a16z Show
Jake Paul & Anti Fund: From Creator to Investor

Like, the first reason I was hated from the very beginning, like, in the mainstream was because I jumped on top of a news van.

The a16z Show
Jake Paul & Anti Fund: From Creator to Investor

So it's like, that's seriously why people started hating me.

The a16z Show
Jake Paul & Anti Fund: From Creator to Investor

They're like, look at this douchebag.

The a16z Show
Jake Paul & Anti Fund: From Creator to Investor

And I was, like, making fun of the news reporter's shoes.

The a16z Show
Jake Paul & Anti Fund: From Creator to Investor

And it's like, okay, like, it seemed like bad press at the time, but, like, that...

The a16z Show
Jake Paul & Anti Fund: From Creator to Investor

was like my first like mainstream moment really in the press.

The a16z Show
Jake Paul & Anti Fund: From Creator to Investor

And so I think for certain people, all press is good press, but I don't think it's a saying that is good for everybody and holds true for everybody.

Everything you do has risk.
