Random Talk: YC’s Pocket Guide for Founders
YC has a “pocket guide” for founders that is definitely worth revisiting from time to time to correct your course.
- Launch now
- Build something people want
- Do things that don’t scale
- Find the 90/10 solution (90% problem, 10% solution)
- Find 10-100 customers who love your product
- All startups are badly broken at some point
- Write code - talk to users
- “It’s not your money”
- Growth is the result of a great product, not the precursor
- Don’t scale your team/product until you have built something people want
- Valuation is not equal to success, or even probability of success
- Avoid long negotiated deals with big customers if you can
- Avoid big company corporate development queries - they will only waste time
- Avoid conferences unless they are the best way to get customers
- Pre-product market fit - do things that don’t scale: remain small/nimble
- Startups can only solve one problem well at any given time
- Founder relationships matter more than you think
- Sometimes you need to fire your customers (they might be killing you)
- Ignore your competitors; you will more likely die of suicide than murder
- Most companies don’t die because they run out of money
- Be nice! Or at least don’t be a jerk
- Get sleep and exercise - take care of yourself
