3 strangers showed us how they made $8M, $10M, & $40M/year

All right, today we're playing Shoot Your Shot, where we let founders come in, sit in the hot seat, and pitch us their business. We got founders that have million-dollar businesses all the way up to hundred million dollar businesses. They get 15 minutes, and in it they start by telling us the one big number, give us the pitch, and, uh, and shoot their shot. They get to ask us any questions that they want.

We've done this in New York City. This time it's in San Francisco. Whether you're listening on Spotify or YouTube, if you're working out right now, whatever you're doing right now, uh, you need to stop and go to Spotify or go to YouTube, look us up on My First Million, and let us know in the comments which city you want us to go to next.

All right, let's do it.

I feel like I can rule the world. I know I can be what I want to. Uh, I put my all in it like no days off. On the road less traveled, never lookin' back.

All right, Sam, what's up? We are doing a new episode, new format. We're calling it Shoot Your Shot, and in- basically we go from city to city, we invite founders from those cities to come and shoot their shot, to come pitch us. We got business owners that are doing a million dollars a year to hundred million dollar businesses that you're gonna see in this batch of founders. What should we expect?

Well, the best part about this podcast, what, the reason why people listen, the reason why we, we even do it, is we talk to, like, unique people. They tell us stuff that we don't normally see. And it's gonna range from, like, people who are, like, way established and, like, killing it, all the way down to people who are just getting started. And we don't actually know who's coming.

We don't know who's coming.

[laughs]

We... This is blind to us. These are all people who listen to the podcast, right? People who, who listens to this podcast? It's founders, en- entrepreneurs, business owners. It's like an audition. It's like American Idol-

[laughs]

-but for business, I guess. [laughs]

[laughs]

All right, let's do this. So, shoot your shot. Let's get the first founder in here. Who do we got?

What's up, dude?

All right, here he comes.

[laughs]

What's up?

What's up, dog?

All right, have a seat. So you got 15 minutes, but take your, take your time here.

Excited to be here.

What's your name?

Raghav.

Raghav, okay. And your company is Pasha?

That's right.

Pasha, okay.

Where are you from?

I live in San Francisco.

Okay.

The Bay Area, to be precise. Uh, grew up in India, and I've been here for five years now.

How old are you?

I'm 32.

Is this your first company?

It is my first company. Um, I did run a project before this where we were trying to build micro wind turbines, but everything that I've learnt about Pasha has been at Pasha. Everything I've learned about building a business has been primarily at Pasha.

So we have one rule, which is we are a shameless numbers guys.

[laughs] Okay.

And so we ask everybody to give us a, a big, juicy, impressive or interesting number. Doesn't have to be that big, but interesting number that would hook us. Go ahead.

So we're amongst the 1% of robotics companies you have ever met that are actually shipping a real product in real homes-

Okay. [laughs]
