I love DHH's talk from Startup School "The Secret to Making Money Online". Seems like his "charge people to use your service" become a lot more relevant since the recession hit.
Frankly I often mentally reference PG's startup school talk: solving a problem for people whose hair is on fire. People who have a big problem that need any solution urgently.
And of course, both of Hans Rosling's talks on global poverty trends from TED. The technology behind his presentations is fascinating, but the historical context he adds as a speaker pushes these two videos over the top for me.

We've been working to assemble lots of great talks and videos both from entrepreneurs and investors on StartupTweet. We're working on a prettier interface as well...
