Well, I would add something to the conclusion: "For the would-be founders out there waiting for the right time to leave their jobs and build their dream startup, don’t wait." Don't wait, and don't leave your jobs.
They didn't until they have secured funding and it worked out for them.
- ajiang 12y agoWell, just to clarify, I had quit my job well before getting into YC, and it was really helpful to have at least one person be full-time and pushing ahead during the day. It's true that Paul and Eric didn't quit their jobs until YC, but at the rate we were going, they likely wouldn't have kept them for long given how much time they were spending on Bayes Impact. My conclusion is just as it is: don't wait. Get started however you can. If you need to stay at your job, start now. If you can leave and devote your full attention, even better - start now.
