This video covered so many important startup terms, but I found the product-market fit section especially insightful. It’s one of those topics that can be a bit of an enigma, but the way you broke it down is great!
that’s not really their thing. i mean sure they help founders do it but it’s one of those boring admin necessities i doubt any of the YC partners want to talk about. you’re better off watching other youtube videos from lawyers or accountants imo
Maybe I should make one. The key thing is to think about this: you really need an opinion letter before acquisition that says “all the paperwork before now is legit”. The only way to get that opinion letter is to have a legit retail IP-oriented law firm help you out FROM THE START. In the Valley, it’s Mofo (my fave), Wilson, Fenwick, Cooley, etc, and the next rank down from that. No Way to get it after the fact. This saves your full, future value.
@@amy-007 “Incorporation” can mean “one included into another” but not in the businesses sense, more like a literary anthology, a recipe, an art movement, or, a program of school studies. In this business context, it means “to create a Corporation”, the legal entity by which some types of business are conducted. There are many types, in many jurisdictions. Here in the U.S., there are certain corporation types in certain states, but no such Federal type, but these 50 states’ worth of corporation types have to proceed under Federal tax laws. For our purposes here, the only real type of interest (and of my experience) is the “C Corporation”. There are many reasons why some corporate entities have “LLC” types, but it’s part of a complex corporate strategy. See Google, or Spotify for examples.
Can we can use this jargon in the application? Serious question, esp when talking about background etc. Thanks for your vids, ESPECIALLY the recently refreshed application vid: I’ve shared it widely to potential applicants.

Wouldn’t the burn rate be $900,000 and not $100,000? You’ve essentially burned through 900,000 dollars in a month is how my brain processed his explanation.
@@shiyaowu2881 Go-to-Market is a strategy of how you will make a new product or service available. Examples: bundle with an existing service to existing customers. Have a coordinated release, with media (ads) buy, across multiple platforms, pushed by influencers, from traditional or new media. Release in a limited market via retailers. Partner with a Value Added Reseller. Get into an existing catalog (still a thing). Get some retail shelf space (still a thing).
@@shiyaowu2881 Know How is an expression that refers to knowledge and or technique pertaining to the solution side of a customer situation. Example: “by applying a high temperature lubricant to the mold, we have a lower defect rate when injection molding the main component of the…”. 3M’s ability to make “permanently temporary” adhesive for Post-It’s is known how.

Wish one day to be in Dalton's group partner team, need to work on it hard. Also before YC need to find angel investor to reduce my burn rate XD to avoid running out of money, anyway✌🏻

We need a video about company incorporation
that’s not really their thing. i mean sure they help founders do it but it’s one of those boring admin necessities i doubt any of the YC partners want to talk about. you’re better off watching other youtube videos from lawyers or accountants imo
“startup school mechanics” lecture (from any year) covers this, they recommend using clerky

What do you mean by that? Company incorporation? When a bigger company buys a smaller one?

Can TAM relate/linked with the ARR while mesuring ?
