Переглядів 45 тис.21 день тому
When you’re making important decisions as a founder - like what to build, or how it should work - should you spend lots of time gathering input from others or just trust your gut? The answer: it depends. It depends on who you are, what you’re building, and what you know. In this episode of Dalton Michael we talk more about this, and how to know when you should spend time validating and when to ...

How to Survive the Crypto Boom & Bust Cycle

How To Build Generative AI Models Like OpenAI's Sora
Переглядів 75 тис.Місяць тому
If you read articles about companies like OpenAI and Anthropic training foundation models, it would be natural to assume that if you don’t have a billion dollars or the resources of a large company, you can’t train your own foundational models. But the opposite is true. In this episode of the Lightcone Podcast, we discuss the strategies to build a foundational model from scratch in less than 3 ...

Why You Shouldn't Copy Your Tech Idols
Alright the last of us
Great ❤
High level up-speak
I m a product designer and don't have a CTO yet. I m wondering whether, I should wait to get another co-founder before applying for the application? Will it help? Though, I m currently working on a demo/prototype and getting users.
This is really practical advice ❤.
Guys, I just played this video to my 11 year old boy. And he liked it. When you speak in a way that an 11 year old kid learns a life lesson. I think you should feel happy. I did have to explain FOMO.
What are the best ways that people who don’t have a tech background to learn technical skills? Many people recommend coding bootcamp but I want to know if that is truly the most effective option or should I try to teach myself?
I bet Michael at 19:09 wanna do "Sign of the Cross" gesture 😅🤣😂😂
i had a micro-managment flows implemented in a wide range of type of business
Any Indians
What’s the title of the full video?
Yo! I got a dev audience at @cleverprogrammer and we wanna be a part of YC haha! My co founder and I!
Already applied s24 but haven’t heard back.
We used to call it “golden handcuffs”. Almost 10 years at Facebook. “Retired” two years ago for a change of pace and to work on personal projects and open source.
Well that was a much needed pitcher of ice-cold water on my FAANG obsession. Thanks!
Please can we get transcripts for these videos?
Love this!
Am I going crazy or is this made by AI?
pick 1️⃣ particular type of customer 👍🏻
already on the way to create thing ☺️
2024 attendance here😅
Y combinator is like the large hydron collider of particles but just companies and people gets collided in YCs case. I am coming to get smashed good in there guys. Wait foe me.😅
Man literally said "sell us your trademark secrets"
Feels like right guy (who should be the expert) talks way less than left guy and instead it feels like left guy drives impressions and opinions. Why even bring in right guy if he only agrees and adds around 10% to the conversation?
I have launched but I have 0 traction.
Clear and absolutely important advice ❤❤
Substituting fully-detailed physics simulations with AI simulations, for rocket design, seems likely to get us Titanic Subermisble II.
Great idea! Glad to hear that we're bring manufacturing back.
How do you know they open the emails?
Excellent video, thanks for that !
Hey Dalton, I have built 2 of these already one of is for Lawyers (Case Management designed to their needs) and one for Nursing/Care Homes (Invoicing solution). I plan to build one for Mediators. I do not know if it is the level of YC but still would love to have a YC partner as mentor. I do not have a great co founder yet so bit reluctant to apply. thanks
Could you at least improve your your ux by providing very needed Google cloud credits, cause let's face it, Google won the ai race! Anything else is cheap talk
You speak of instincts, interesting
What if a self-taught product designer, who after 6-years of unemployment spent those 6 years crafting and discarding business ideas, business models, design theory, business ops, u name it, and who through some unknown miracle a ai tech company just happens to place an ad on Linked in the very day that this individual decides to look for work in 3 years, and then all of a suden he gets the unbelievable opportunity to become 1 of 10 prompt engineers, and OMG, he was the best and the other 9 get fired and he becomes sr prompt engineer and product QA out of the aether. Would such an individual be dumb enough to not have legally protected the ip from their baby Mussia? Would that sound like someone without a detailed roadmap. Let's say that Y Combinator once slighted said Mussia Baby, with good reason cause it was not this bomb last year, nor would it have become that bomb without skills learnt through hard work over the course of a year. Would they get accepted to YC and disclose any conflict of interests, and also disclose that they protected Mussia and that they would never inject any feature anywhere on Mussia that was a breach of trust to their previous miraculous emplyer? You know what WE mean?
Make sure you didn't sign an NDA first!
If I remember right, a law was passed making any NDA null and void.
That was non-competes. Breaking NDAs is just exactly as no-no as it was before. (Read: it’s complicated. People do it all the time, but if you are really unlucky or stupid, it gets really expensive)
Looks like you are talking about us 😂
I was working as a technical founding members. Our initial launches were not great but I am working my butts off. We're 3 members. One member has not write a single line of code in the last 6 months and started doing freelance work. Now I feel, I have wasted so much my time and money. I feel left behind.
Hey Dalton, if you want to see a great Developer Tool startup, please take a look at QCode, I applied to S24 on April 22. I'm excited to give you a demo any moment you want..!
You want to steal corporate IP by pretending to fund stratups? Wow, it feels very ‚inspired’
Read the word "inspired" again.. Tbh, every new startup is "inspired" by something pre-existing. Here, he is just giving direction for people to understand what they are looking for.
Everyone has this unique idea that you have in your head, including the VCs. The one that gets funded and gets to success if the one who puts effort into it. Nobody cares about your genius idea. Everyone only cares if you are the genius who actually builds it.
So, steal inner tools and sell it to another companies? It sounds like fun, but the company's lawyers won't let you do it.
They could have at least put some flowers into those water jars....
By YouSum Live 00:01:03 Tar pit ideas attract founders with false allure. 00:01:13 Tar pit ideas hinder quick pivots, causing failure. 00:03:50 Consumer ideas dominate startup applications for familiarity. 00:04:08 Consumer businesses target individual users, not companies. 00:06:40 High bar and timing challenges plague consumer startups. 00:08:48 Successful consumer products evoke user obsession and quality. 00:15:10 Tar pit ideas emotionally trap founders despite challenges. 00:16:01 Discovery startup ideas often overestimate market demand. 00:19:36 Tar pit ideas mislead founders into believing in unique solutions. 00:19:56 High percentage of founders apply with common ideas. 00:20:39 Web 3 offers exciting possibilities for young founders. 00:21:03 Theoretical concepts need practical implementation for success. 00:21:24 OpenSea's success was tangible, not just theoretical. 00:21:49 Startup ideas vary in supply and demand among founders. 00:25:00 Experienced individuals can excel in the startup world. 00:26:19 Pivoting towards high-demand, low-supply ideas leads to success. 00:27:01 Success lies in moving away from common, easy paths. 00:28:18 Recognizing supply and demand dynamics enhances success odds.

By YouSum Live 00:00:39 Startup hiring challenges discussed. 00:01:00 Advice on hiring during pre-product market fit. 00:02:12 Lies founders tell themselves about hiring. 00:03:37 Hiring specialists when not the primary need. 00:05:54 Importance of founder's unique skill set. 00:17:22 Over-hiring leads to higher burn rate. 00:17:48 Founders reminisce energizing early days. 00:18:00 Overhiring leads to burnout, toxic culture risks. 00:18:39 Avoid toxic hires to prevent hating work. 00:18:51 Post-product market fit: hire freely. Pre-product market fit: cautious. 00:19:08 Don't hire if unsure about product market fit. By YouSum Live
Thank you for the insightful discussion and for sharing all of this with us. @ycombinator I am curious, what percentage of startups in the cohort were focused on robotics or hardware?
I don’t ever comment on videos, but this was fantastic. Tons of lightbulb moments while watching this. Thank you
A "technical" founder can likely do the "non-technical" roles it will just take the company twice as long to grow with 1 person doing both.
We thank you, not the other way around;)
No offence but Boom is not a very good example of a successful startup. Its an example of a startup that got good financing. They just burned a lot of money and 8 years later they are still developing. A lot of LOIs prove nothing when it turns out their plane is worth couple of Boeings. There is a reason why Concorde flew only couple of destinations, reason being cost of travel (10k per ticket from London to NY). Its like assumimg there is a huge market for 1 class tickets, there is not and 90% destinations you cant reach in 1 class. Your all acting out like they are next big thing and cant see the obvious, they are the next Theranos. Dont get me wrong its a greate idea but commercially its impossible to achive. Airline companies are on very thin margins and cutting cost on everything, so let's make smaller plane and 10x more expensive, but it is faster!!! Seems like a great idea said no one. I would rather give money to a company that is using new technologies to make a regular plane (e.g. carbon fiber cabin, hydrogen engines or modified engines so they can burn hydrogen, fly by wire, simplified design, planes made by 3d printing, this kind of stuff) so its lighter more efficient and costs half the money of a Boeing or Airbus. These old companies cant do that because they are old tech, huge and cant addapt that quickly to new conditions and new technologies.
dude needed a staple
See you guys soon 😘😘
