Did Y Combinator study the East Indias Company? Their "GTM" methods seem..familiar. Such "global" innovators. Their localisation knowhow has been...impressive. Lots of "global scale" - King Kong style. What #insurance do they have? Gonna go read the new #founder bible by Brian Chesky on "how to hack markets to become a Global leader" - Airbnb has been magical with no consequences.
Yeah, cuz their model only benefits them You're forced to give 10% of equity to cofounders and no experienced CTO will work for equity in 2024+, so you're forced to bring new people that will make many mistakes
These links and resources are so on point.
These are the type of posts we need on LinkedIn - SOLUTIONS! boom.
Great collection. The flip side is what they don’t teach those 2%. Arguably the mistakes are just as valuable as the happy path lessons. Gotta have both to be really dangerous.
Now if you could just make introductions for everyone to simulate the network effect of Y Combinator
did you just post yc whole YouTube channels playlist over here? ps: I have watched all of them
Better to start a business owning all of it and not in debt.

1wThe landscape will transform the day companies like Y Combinator go in search of startups instead of the other way around. That’s the power of a truly exceptional startup. If a startup has the right team, a solid idea, and a robust revenue model, it won’t need to chase investors—Y Combinator will come to them. Imagine a world where, instead of 2%, nearly all startups with potential receive the support they need to scale. Jai Shree Ram 🚩
