Kong Pham | CEO of Jumpcut | YC S16 | Prior YouTube Star Launches Startup and Does $12M in Sales!

Jumpcut is an online school for entrepreneurs that participated in Y Combinator summer of 2016 . Kong is the founder of Jumpcut and got his start off of running and growing several profitable YouTube channels. He grew up poor but with a loving family who always reminded him that although they were poor, Kong was still in a better situation than his father and had a lot to be grateful for. This became a big drive for Kong’s success to be able to reach financial freedom and support his family who worked so hard for his own future.

He reached his first million from his multiple, successful YouTube channels but years later realized he wanted to build his career around helping people and through that process, Jumpcut was born. In this interview, we tour Jumpcut HQ in Los Angeles and get the scoop on Kong’s personal journey, YouTube star success, and the rise of his start-up, Jumpcut.
