New: Apply to Y Combinator without an Idea
Since its been discovered, then consistently reinforced that people are the indicators of success, I wonder if you can go one step further and train someone to be a good founder. I do believe these characteristics can be taught.It would be interesting to see some kind of startup bootcamp emerge. For those who want more in life, but don't quite know how to get there, or don't yet have the confidence to do it themselves. Even better, you'd come out of it pretty well connected with others in such a program. Even more so if YC was involved.Though perhaps the best way to get involved is still to work for an early-stage startup, if you can take the risk.
