Highlights from Startup School NYC 2014
- frankdenbow 12y agoIs there a youtube link for the videos?
- yeldarb 12y agoI haven't seen one but it looks like there is an uncut replay video still up where the livestream was at http://startupschool.org http://startupschool.org
- covercash 12y agoBased on previous Startup School events, it seems to take them 1-2 weeks to get the edited videos up on the youtube channel.

- sreyaNotfilc 12y agoI'm glad I went! My take-away... A lot of the things they've mentioned was stuff I already heard/known. That said, it was great to hear them again and again. I really like the cadence of 1) "No excuses. Just Do It!" 2) "No one knows what they're doing and that's fine" 3) "The Net is truly a level playing field" Anyway, those are my little tidbits. Back to coding!
- ludicast 12y agoGreat time. Really enjoyed a few things: - Zach Sims quoting his classmates' saying something like "you should be embarrassed by your first version, but you shouldn't be THIS embarrassed." - The Instacart story was very inspiring. I've heard it before (the pictures, the late app, etc.), but always a lot of fun. The part about him refusing to food shop until he could do it from his own app is exactly the sort of dogfooding I do and recommend. - The repeated invocations to build for yourself. I especially appreciated Shana Fisher's contrarian advice: - don't be afraid to perfect & build a minimum "desirable" product - get each hire right before moving on to the next - sometimes it is best to be a single founder if you have a certain personality
