Whoops! Guys, if you hover the mouse over the submission title and right click, click on "Bookmark This Link...". This will add it WITH the submission title, instead of the default "Y Combinator Startup News".

Yes. Like now as I'm writing this reply if I wanted to bookmark this page, it would read "Y Combinator: Add Comment". From where you're reading it would read "Y Combinator Startup News". It would be more convenient for me if it was instead

For the Jobs: how could he improve his marketing/negotiating skills? For the Woz: how could he find a Jobs?

I agree that you should be friends before becoming cofounders. Cool idea. How could one find the hackers first, in order to let them know that there is such a event?

Arts Theme House:) Go Duke! Damn good points about hackers with more than just technical chops. Congrats on finding your cofounder, I'm guessing you've already got a live startup. If you want to link it, we'd love to check it out.

Good points, the article was quite narrowly focused. Where would you go to find cofounders?

As with menloparkbum, I agree that labs might be a long shot. I also agree that cofounders with design and marketing skills would be great to have. Where would you go to find them?

You're right, Steve met Woz because they lived in the same neighbourhood/street. I agree that labs might be a long shot. Where else do you think hackers might hang out?

The billionaire is Henry Ford. The version I was told was that he was on the stand, and that was his reply to one of the prosecutor's questions. Jobs also liked to call himself the "Henry Ford of Personal Computing".

I agree with pg's belief that college is the best place to find cofounders, so... 1. Where do hackers like to hang out on campus? 2. What languages do great hackers love using?

From what I've read, they got their first seed capital from an angel investor and friend Julian Weber, of about $15,000. He also happened to be a lawyer, so legal counsel was very accessible, if not free. This is somewhere in Paul's essays.

This memo is very enlightening! I've just read a book where the author is a successful entrepreneur, but a greedy sod too. He stresses that ownership is not the important thing, but the ONLY thing that matters. Taking into account that he

I agree, jamongkad! The best part about them, and a major reason why I submitted their post, is that they're from Sydney, Australia. I wanted to show all you non-US entrepreneurs that you don't have to startup in the US to be successful. Th

The attitude to have a an exit strategy is pervasive here. It could be because it's been advocated in Paul's many essays. But ask yourselves, do you just want to start a web startup? Is it just about the web, or would you start any kind of

Paul, if you don't know of anyone saying this kind of thing today, doesn't that mean we need it more than ever? I think it's safe to assume that even though YC is dedicated to empowering entrepreneurs, in reality it's only internet entrepre

This one comes from Paul Graham, from 'How To Start A Startup': "What you should do in college is work on your own projects. Hackers should do this even if they don't plan to start startups, because it's the only real way to learn how to pr

This is for you, looking for your cofounder. It's a story about how the original two guys in a garage met each other. If you have a founder story, it's my hope that you also share it here, for all of us. From 'The HP Way', by David Packard:
