Thanks to Nick Sivo for turning these around so fast. I think it takes YouTube awhile to add automated closed captions to the videos (couple of days if I remember last time). Because they're not great, we're also in the process of having them transcribed, which takes a bit longer, but will be more accurate. That'll probably be done in a week or so. Thanks everyone for watching!

Thought I'd share two quotes I enjoyed from Kevin Systrom's interview: "Every little experience you have, you may not give credit, but it turns out is super important for being foundational in your startup going forward. Each and every little experience adds up." "It turns just surround yourself by great people where you can learn the most and great things will happen."

>WhatsApp charged users $0.99/month, and was self-funded. Is this accurate? I remember being charged $0.99/year back when they started out. And the first year was free.

  I don't think it was ever $0.99/month. I believe it was initially free, then ~$0.99 for life and now one year free then 0.99/yr

Really enjoyed Danae Ringelmann's presentation. My synopsis: 1. Product - why are you building it 2. People - culture 3. Journey - where are you coming from and where are you going

I really enjoyed the Groupon Talk, and learning that WhatsApp charged to slow down development.

Anyone have access to the slides? Can't seem to find them.

All the other Startup School videos from other locations are equally worth watching: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcefcZRL2oaA_uBNeo5UOWg/playlists https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcefcZRL2oaA_uBNeo5UOWg/pla...
