The Way I Work: Techcrunch founder Michael Arrington loves breaking tech stories, but he’s not big on PR people, conversational niceties, or sunlight. TechCrunch, a San Francisco-based company that publishes the influential blog of the same name, started as a hobby.

Many people ask me, “YC is over, now what?” I guess I’ll make that a blog post. Y Combinator is never really over. Why would you want it to be? I want to build a serious business, and that was very clear in the beginning especially when we traded company stock for a small amount of money in order to get going. Y Combinator was an enabler for first-time entrepreneurs like me to get started and foc

Today, the venture financing industry is going through a similar segmentation process. Venture capital has only existed in its modern form for about 35 years. In the early days there were relatively few VCs. Entrepreneurs were happy simply getting money and general business guidance.

K. is a seasoned entrepreneur, and I am just a kid. 21 years old, ambitious, and somewhat experienced in working as a programmer, but with no real business sense. I started programming when I was in middle school, and have been fascinated with hacker culture (for lack of a better word) ever since.

Thiel is starting a new initiative that will offer grants of up to $100,000 for kids to drop out of school. Yes, you read that right. Though that’s not how Thiel puts it. Instead, he calls it “stopping out of school.” The basic gist is that he will fund up to 20 kids under the age of 20 who apply for this grant. His hope, obviously, isn’t to ruin their lives, but instead to find the best minds th
Y Combinator runs two three-month funding cycles a year, one from January through March and one from June through August. We ask the founders of each startup we fund to move to the Bay Area for the duration of their cycle, during which we work intensively with them to get the company into the best shape possible. Each cycle culminates in an event called Demo Day, at which the startups present to

Some of my favorite companies have started without any VC or outside investment. Think that’s not possible? Well, go look at GoPro‘s new HD sports video cameras. CrunchGear loves them. Heck, even if you don’t need a great sports video camera, you really should visit their website and look at some of their videos. Wild! Lots of other people around the world love this company too, like the videogra

The great thing about startups, especially ones in small, fast growing markets, is that there’s no shortage of opportunities. One area that often comes up is larger, more established companies reaching out to talk about technical partnerships with startups in more cutting edge, complementary spaces. The bigger companies have a core competency that’s working, a limited number of engineers, and onl

Dan Lyons raises a provocative question in his latest Newsweek article: Is Silicon Valley still solving hard problems? After all, the "silicon" in Silicon Valley comes from its being the birthplace of the microprocessor.
