The weekly video sessions that StartupSchool offers are great. I participated in them during the first batch when they were led by YC alumns (I think now they're just self-organized), they basically just consist of people taking turns telling the group what they did last week and what they plan to do this week. In retrospect it was really great thing and helped me enormously to focus and make progress. Especially as a solo founder it's hard to keep focused as there's no one to "yell" at you if you're getting distracted, so having a group of peers that are in the same situation and that provide a bit of social pressure and encouragement was really great. Also, people would sometimes share stuff they struggle with, which also helped a lot to put things in perspective as startup life can get pretty grim, so it helps to laugh about failures with other people. Really sad they
