Excellent videos. Wish they were longer.

cool

Yeah, what a cutie!

…and Evelyn Rusli isn’t bad either.

this interviewer does such a better job than many of the other ones you have. doesn’t try to take over and be the star, lets pg speak his piece…

Exactly… And actually asks quality, relevant questions.

Actual journalistic talent is a rarity on TC…but definitely agree.

And easy on the eyes.

Good videos. The concept of moving the focus from the idea and more to the entrepreneur is insightful, although there must be some qualitative factors that are assessed against the idea, as well.

I know exactly what you mean, Paul Graham is so dreamy.

seems like there should be another part, because hes cut off at the end of part 2 ?

I don’t think that is what he meant.

I think one of the reasons we are seeing so many start-ups coming from New York right now is that after the GFC a lot of really smart people that would have otherwise pursued a career on wall street are starting to look at different career options.

New York has always drawn self motivated, smart and hungry people because Wall Street has had the lure of the big dollar pay off. The tech startup scene definitely has those qualities too. This is not the only reason of course, but I think its a contributing factor.

I don’t think he meant what you thought he meant.

I like Hacker News. His Y Combinator links are good.

I like this video very much.
I am also liked Hacker News

It’s called professionalism

Yeah wtf TC? This isn’t some movie preview designed to get us excited. Spill the beans and put up the whole damn thing… felt cut off.

Please consider porting TechCrunch TV clips to YouTube or some HTML5 compatible format for mobile viewing. Embedded player loads on Android browser but I only get the animated spinning icon.

The videos don’t load on an iPhone either.

You rock Paul! Evelyn, too

awesome interview.. there are so many parts of it that resonate now after having setup a successful online business, which i’m sure wouldn’t have before..

also as someone else mentioned, the interviewer is really good! building up the conversation instead of forcing some pre-researched questions.. wish these vids were longer though..

video player doesn’t work here. says i should check my connection. what’s wrong with youtube, guys?

I know! He isn’t dreamy, he is steamy.

NY was a very natural place for the entrepreneurial spirit to spread to, especially in the downturn – lots of talented people who either lost their job or had to put up with a lot of abuse in their job because there weren’t many alternatives. Why not leave and try something on your own, especially if you have the means to support yourself for a while?

Nice guy.

New is hot for startups for many reasons, including the following:
1) Commodization of SW: Internet is more about businesses/business models, and now less about software;
2) Leadership: Fred Wilson and Paul Graham — leading edge investor make a huge difference;
3) Necessity: financial meltdown put quite a few smart people to work in startups
4) Pure size and scale: NYC is the biggest, most powerful city in the US.

When the scale and size of NYC is combined with the above the byproduct is success.

Very nice videos and good advice, thank you for posting…

Evelyn did a fine job and it’s great to see that Paul was given time to expand on his answers. Very insightful interview.

Ooyala Support has added a lower bitrate stream for the iPhone. Please let us know if this addresses your issue.

Great interview… so interesting and insightful.

A video tip… get a Rycote Softie for your microphone… the ultimate windscreen. No more rumble.

Well, video now plays on the HTC Evo after the FroYo 2.2 update. :)
