With just 60 days to secure the funds, he turned to his network of investors, passionately sharing his vision for the company. However, one of his investors attempted to buy Starbucks behind his back for the same amount. That’s when Bill Gates Senior stepped in to help Howard navigate this crisis. What followed is an epic tale of perseverance, entrepreneurship and partnership. Take 3 minutes to watch this captivating video and be inspired by Howard's journey!

Two teenage brothers from Ireland built a FinTech behemoth valued at $70 billion. Y Combinator co-founder Jessica Livingston reveals the secret behind Stripe’s meteoric rise, and it all starts with relentless determination 👇😳 Before it became one of the world’s most valuable private tech companies, Stripe was just a long shot founded by 19-year-old Patrick Collison and his then-16-year-old brother, John. When they pitched Y Combinator, Jessica Livingston remembers thinking, “Do you realize how hard this is? You don’t have connections.” Yet the Collisons wouldn’t take no for an answer. “We’ll find connections,” they said. And they did. According to Livingston, determination is by far the top ingredient for startup success: “Determination is the most important thing. Understanding your users and building a product with a great user experience is second most important.” The Collisons embodied this mantra, refusing to let youth or inexperience hold them back. They immersed themselves in the financial industry, learning whatever they needed to fill the gaps. But while a great product lays the foundation, the real differentiator often comes down to persuasion: “You are going to be convincing employees to join you. You’re going to be convincing investors to invest in you. When you do deals with bigger companies, you have to convince them. Your whole world is convincing people.” This isn’t just about charming speeches. It’s about communicating your product’s value so clearly that people immediately grasp why it matters. That’s why Steve Jobs famously declared the storyteller to be the most powerful person in the world. Because it all comes down to how well you can make others believe in your vision. In the age of AI, storytelling is more important than ever before. P.S. check out 🔔linas.substack.com🔔, it's the only newsletter you need for all things when Finance meets Technology. For founders, builders, and leaders.
