Watch YC Startup School 2012 Live
- napoleond 14y agoI love watching these talks every year! It would be really good if there was a way to pause/rewind the feed, though.

- taphangum 14y agoThe notes are great.
- jrubinovitz 14y ago"It wasn't about taking over the world, it was about being baller in San Francisco." -Travis Kalanick, Founder of Uber Sounds like a good starting goal to pursue with a start-up.

- supersaiyan 14y agoAwesome, though I wish they would write the name of the person/company actually speaking, since I don't know what some of these (http://startupschool.org/speakers.html http://startupschool.org/speakers.html) people look like

- waleedka 14y agoIs there any place to watch previous videos for those of us who missed them?
- napoleond 14y agohttp://www.justin.tv/startupschool http://www.justin.tv/startupschool
- waleedka 14y agoNope. I'm looking for videos from this year, not previous years.
- napoleond 14y agoThey'll probably be up on that link in the next day or two.
- omegant 14y agoIsn´t that channel curated? I don´t understand why other´s people highlight are the first thing I see(first I thought that the videos where broken). Also lots of videos don´t have title, nor you know who is the speaker!. I had never used justin.tv before but I am not impressed at all.
- hiddenstage 14y agoI love YC's loyalty with their own companies, but in this case I hope they upload this year's videos to YouTube.
- simonw 14y agoWe have most of the videos from previous years collected on Lanyrd: http://lanyrd.com/series/startup-school/ http://lanyrd.com/series/startup-school/
- maximveksler 14y agosimonw, lanyrd.com is a positive push. I will check it out. (your advertisement comment is accepted as valuable).
- greattypo 14y agoWho is that startup that had their funding yanked after signing documents and moving from Houston to San Francisco?
- rdl 14y ago(EDIT: This was a YC company, and she specifically said it wasn't a YC co, so this probably isn't it, but similar) Storenvy (Kansas City, Mo not Houston) http://joncrawford.com/post/20378314843/how-i-got-kicked-out-of-y-combinator-and-then-raised http://joncrawford.com/post/20378314843/how-i-got-kicked-out... I assume that's the one you mean -- I met the guy and he's actually pretty reasonable, so I think the whole thing was just an unfortunate situation.
- metafour 14y agoI thought she said it wasn't a Y-Combinator company that had this happen to them.
- rdl 14y agoAh, doh. I didn't see the talk (was trying to find parking for 45min before giving up and just watching online. I really hate the Stanford campus.)
- SkyMarshal 14y agoPro-tip for next time - park in Palo Alto or somewhere near the free shuttle [1] and bus it to campus. Or pack a bike. [1]: http://transportation.stanford.edu/marguerite/ http://transportation.stanford.edu/marguerite/
- rdl 14y agoWow. I wish I'd known about that! Thanks.
- nicholas73 14y ago
- manaskarekar 14y agoIs there a list of people who have already spoken? I have missed quite a few.
- metafour 14y agoThis link should help. It seems like they've live blogged everyone who has been on. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4677964 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4677964
- whyleyc 14y agoCan anyone who's there please post the schedule for the day ?
- bkyan 14y agoI wish they had two separate video feeds, one for the speaker and the other for the slide presentation.
- metafour 14y agoIt seemed like there was when Jessica Livingston was on. Her slides were showing to the right of the video. When Patrick came on it just showed his name and title there the whole time instead.
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- rhizome 14y agoI don't remember Patrick having any slides. Only half of the speakers made any use of slides, with Jessica the most effective (to me) and Weebly/Pinterest/Spolsky tied for distant 2nd.

- manaskarekar 14y agoThank you so much! One would think this would be on the 'Speakers' page.
- jahansafd 14y agoplease find your seats guyzzzzz
- kevinsd 14y agoI really enjoy watching but I am a bit occupied today. Where can I find a recording?
- nik_0_0 14y agoNo webcast for Horowitz? Why?
- jongold 14y agoWhat the hell is that about?
- kruken 14y agoPerhaps they are expecting too many f-bombs...
- dudurocha 14y agoSo sad. I was waiting to see him. One of my favorite people on Venture Capital.

- khet 14y ago..and there I thought my internet connection was lost.
- randartie 14y agodisappointing
- jammur 14y agoIt's possible that he might have requested it if he expected to divulge some sensitive information.
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- manaskarekar 14y agoAren't there tech reporters attending this? Sounds more like for 'exclusivity' of being physically present there kinda thing to me. Any veterans want to comment on whether this is historically consistent or something new?
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- wes-exp 14y agoGiven the choice between switching to a computer with Flash (I'm on an iPad) or not watching this, I'm choosing not to watch.
- rdl 14y agoBest RonCo quote: "you're going to make money while this guy fights with the record labels" -- why you should do a technology and maybe b2b startup rather than a music (or maybe even consumer generally) startup.
- prostoalex 14y agoDalton Caldwell two years ago presented on why not do a music startup. http://www.justin.tv/startupschool/b/272400211 http://www.justin.tv/startupschool/b/272400211
- frankdenbow 14y agoIts funny, everyone says not to do a music startup but there is so much potential there. Maybe I'm crazy to pursue it, but it seems that from history, innovation happens when everyone is looking the other way.
- rgbrgb 14y agoIn what way is everyone looking the other way?
- frankdenbow 14y agoLots of VCs/investors say not to do anything that touches music, specifically major label content. Dalton's big talk at Startup School is an example of the (reasonable) position against doing music startups. I've heard it from lots of people who I have talked to anecdotally.
- TillE 14y agoThere's almost no one doing anything interesting with the creation and distribution and marketing of new music. It's 2012, and the major labels are still enormously powerful.
- rgbrgb 14y agoI guess I was thinking of all the cool things bandcamp (which I love) and soundcloud are doing for indies, not to mention Spotify, rdio, grooveshark, itunes, amazon music, and google play. I've been looking at the space and don't really know what I could add. It looks really crowded with innovators to me. If I read you right, you're just saying that there's still room for something better?
- wiwillia 14y agoAnyone know if they are putting the full event up on YouTube/Vimeo? Missed it but would love to see a replay.
- fbuilesv 14y agoA lot of the stuff Spolsky's covering right now is coming from his Strategy Letter I (http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000056.html http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000056.html). That's probably my favorite thing he's ever written.
- josh2600 14y agoNot trying to be a hater, and I know this isn't Reddit, but it kills me when people don't know the different between Effect and Affect. Other than that, great advice and well written article.
- deleted 14y ago[deleted]
- aptwebapps 14y agoAre you referring to the linked article? I didn't find any incorrect usages of affect or effect at all.
- supersaiyan 14y agoGreat work guys, thanks for live streaming it; tired of missing out on awesome events just because I don't live in San Francisco
- mikesmullin2 14y agowe need a site for matchmaking startup entrepreneurs
- brianchu 14y agoSome Ben Horowitz gems (paraphrased): You have to have a 10x better product to beat (established) competition. There is no number 2 in tech. Over time, "wants" become "needs." (Ex: the refrigerator) When Loudcloud was burning cash and going downhill: "I sleep like a baby... I wake up every two hours and cry." Breakthrough ideas seem like hallucinations.
- davidw 14y ago> There is no number 2 in tech. Depends entirely on the market, although it's often more likely in tech because of the global reach of companies, positive network externalities, and other factors like that, that make it a very different sector, than, say "small Italian restaurants".
- funapps 14y agoPlease post links to videos, youtube ? you cant watch it here? how do i watch it?
- jc123 14y agoWhat did Weebly do to start getting an upward trend? Good talk but a little light on some key details.
- andyjsong 14y agoseriously, this is what pissed me off most about the talk. He talks in detail about the straight up and down in user signups after Time, Newsweek, and TC features, but when he shows the graph of up and to the right, he just said it was "word of mouth" and nothing else, it seemed like he acquired his users through magic. Did users just start to get it? What changed to make it hockey stick growth? It just seemed like it was a lame pitch to work for his company because he has a ping pong table and a room that can be opened with a book.
- rhizome 14y agoWeebly was YC Winter 07, which roughly coincides with his "18 month" milestone, no? I don't recall him offering much data in the YC realm, so that could have been an overall force.
- bndr 14y agoIs there a recording somewhere for those who missed it?
