YC Startup School for future founders who aren't quite ready to start yet
YC is always doing a good job in educating people on startup things, and they truly inspire a whole generation of founders, including myself.<p>But still, most advices we could find online are too high level, too abstract, too philosophical. Yeah there’s a need for this type of things. But as a person who is thinking to quit his/her job to start a company, they may need more actionable advices and data points, e.g., how to buy healthy insurance, what corporate credit card to use, where to find design/engineering help, what specific tools to use for specific things & the cost... I wish there were such “trivia” advices when I started out 4 years ago. Of course, we can’t expect someone like pg or sam Altman to tell us what specific saas or api or health insurance to buy :) this kind of things can only come from people who fight in the frontline , while the memory / experience is still fresh.<p>Maybe I should write an ebook for these unglamorous advices , especially for people who don’t want to go the venture scale route :)<p>- [edit 1] I had an old blog post on the tools / tech I used for my company: <a href="https://www.listennotes.com/blog/the-boring-technology-behind-a-one-person-23/" rel="nofollow">https://www.listennotes.com/blog/the-boring-technology-behin...</a> it’s of course not the most optimal set of tools & tech; but they get things done :)<p>- [edit 2] when people make it and become successful entrepreneurs/VCs, they are teaching in startup graduate schools with their deep knowledge. But Where is the startup kindergarten/primary school to teach those things that college/graduate schools assume you already know?
