    The enthusiasm for strart-ups reminds me of enthusiasm for joining the army and go to war: nobody tells you that you will suffer, you will be hurt, and maybe you'll be killed. Out of metaphor, About 99% of start-ups fail to become a successful company, and very often you can tell it from the start, but since the founders are young, they lack the experience to see their issues, till they explode. Good luck to everyone!

    I like the professor’s view point that when employee does the whole decision wrong we can fire them. I would not act like them before watching this video and I am sure I will lose a lot.“You do not get to make employees decision, but you do get to choose the decision makers” Points out professor Altman. “When yours and co-founder’s relationship falls apart and he/she leaves, you cannot do anything and the company will go down. Make an agreement for four years by 50/50. If he/she leaves after one year, you keep 25% of the equity.” I thought about this before and my colleagues and I made a kind of agreements. This is the right way to keep the team together for growing the company.
    "Start to say no to the people and act more for your startup" pointed out the professor. For instance, it is really hard to me to say no and always I regret for it. I need to prioritize me and my work first but I do the opposite and waste my time. I should change myself and I believe that one day I can use professor’s advice.
    Actually, there are a lot of thing to point out, however, i think for me these ideas are the most important ones.

    I have an idea for a startup that I would like to start building right away, but I don't have the programming skills necessary to build the product, and I don't know anyone with these skills either. It seems like my only option is to bring on a random co-founder, but the speaker advises against this. What's the best thing to do in this situation? I'm learning to code, but obviously this will take some time before I become really proficient, and I want to start working on this idea now.

And as you said Octavio as a founder you have to understand at least the basics of the technical aspect of your business. Cheers!

      I don't think it even matters how this particular one person is doing. We know statistically how they are doing. Every now and then someone like Srvblueshero will go on to make something amazing that takes off. Some times they make something goes nowhere. Most times they never finish making anything. Even if they come back and try to tell you what they learned, it's much smaller sample size than YC has so might as well listen to the speaker in the video.

    Great lecture. On money based on everything I have read about start ups. However, he makes statement that founder equity should be near equal. The guru on this Noam Wasserman has great research and a book out showing equal split companies do poorly in terms of later valuation and success rate. So I am curious what the data on this at YC is and why Altman would make this one statement that does not fit everything else I have come across as ingredients for startup success. Why is he off base on this one question?

    I am 36 years old. I feel like I am staying fairly up-to-date with technology. But based on the start of this video, it seems that only young people can participate in startups, since they are young students and can "just trust their instincts". Are middle-aged or older people not allowed in startups? Are we useless? Perhaps I should abandon my plan to help "the cloud" evolve its distributed and open future. Maybe I should retire and become a greeter at Walmart.

      Sam Cambridge Ageism is a real issue in the startup world. The audience for this presentation is not limited to the people in that room. There wasn't a single word about techniques for identifying growing markets other than the comment about young people's instincts. This is actually a very important question not only for the startup scene but for society in general. The tone and content of my comment highlights the seriousness of this issue. Pretending that we shouldn't be overly concerned about these issues doesn't make them go away.

    • @JasonLivesay
      @JasonLivesay 10 лет назад

      *****
      Well, they plan from the start to post it on youtube. So I believe that statement reflects his actual beliefs about startup founders needing to be young and about market identification being instinctual.
      Regardless of whether that is the case, there is a larger discussion. Rather than focusing on exactly what was intended by that statement, the issue of ageism in the startup world needs to be recognized and addressed. Its true that older people have advantages. It may also be true that they have disadvantages. But whether they do in fact have disadvantages or not, that is certainly part of the perception and operational framework of Silicon Valley.

    • @YounJungChungYJC

      Jason Livesay While I think these lectures are amazing and super resourceful I think it's also important to realize that Sam's views are not always the same as Silicon Valley. Not everyone agrees with each other or thinks the same way. Saying that, Sam never said that anyone older than 30+ should just call it quits now. Look at Elon Musk, he's 43 and he's accomplished more in this month than I think I could accomplish in a lifetime.

      @JasonLivesay 10 лет назад +1

      ***** Thanks, great points. That link does help to clarify the reality that startups aren't all founded by young people. One minor thing to point out about your wording. You say the "ageism myth". Of course ageism isn't a myth, it is a real problem like classism and racism. I think you meant to say something like "the myth that only young people can found successful startups."

    I agree and try to put in my words.
    It is possible to have people to share your dreams and help u in implementing your business "your ways".
    1. These kind of guys are not easy to come by. By the time they come your business idea (BI) looses its shine. Its a reality with exceptions.
    2. The most practical way to move forward with your "ideas/dreams" is to employ in base, on site, remote or whatever. the reality is an employee is needed and has to be hired.
    3. Hiring an employee means believing in trust, integrity and honesty both sides.
    4. Bottom line: Believe in team work and be professional.
    5. Utopian scenario: If an employee helps you build your dream, help him build "his dream" by supporting him/her with his dream.
    Start ups want co-founders to share their dreams and vision. They want employees to have the same dream but they need to understand and respect that employees can be inspired and "dream" too. Ideal barter would mean they would support u and you support them when they want u.
    Idea for another start up ? ;P

      +Wei Mira Yes he did. The spelling was wrong in the presentation. The root word is "maniac" so the correct version of the word is "maniacally"

    My takeaway: Execute and focus on the most important 2 to 3 things is really difficult for founders. You get no credits in trying, you only get credits for getting things done and build something the market really wants.

      Did you start your company yet? If you don't have the funding, keep it diy for a while where people will want to start working for you or atleast for cheap. Or get some funding first with your diy product.

    I like the fact that how VC preps these slides to sort of "guide" future founders/start ups. The fact is that these VC's wants to invest the next big thing is hilarious. All these dreams of a start up is just fugazi with so low probabilities to succeed.
