My idea is to create a system called The Startup Guild that is somewhat like a distributed and virtual version of YCombinator. The Startup Guild would use game mechanics to help track and match up participants into self supporting mastermind groups. As an analogy, if YCombinator were client-server, the Startup Guild would be a torrent tracker.

It is a exhaustive list of 'must read' entrepreneurship related resources (like startup news, stories, product videos, related books, startup jobs, etc...) updated daily for startupper minded individuals. Initially, this was a site which I have been using to bookmark startup and related resources for the last few few years. This service can sure as a similar tool for 'like minded' risk takers and wealth creators.

Some problems in business can be solved with money; many cannot. When you’re pitching to an investor, one of the best things you can do is to show how the important problems facing your business are those that can be solved with money, because money is what they’re providing.

So you managed to build a prototype, you’ve gotten some traction, and some credulous soul now wants to write you a check to bankroll your startup. How long will it last? Napoleon said that an army marches on its stomach. Well, a startup marches on its bank account, so kiss your startup dreams goodbye the day a zero stares back at you from your bank statement. But forewarned is forearmed:...

It Is Marine Corp Boot Camp for Startup Founders. I have been considering starting a personal blog to talk about my experiences as a startup founder for awhile now. A recent request by Paul Graham to elaborate on what YC looks for in its founders and their YC applications was enough to push me over the edge. Sometime soon, I will back fill this blog with other madness from our first year...

In it I observed that the barriers to entrepreneurship are not just being removed. In each case they’re being replaced by innovations that are speeding up each step, some by a factor of ten. My hypotheses is that we’ll look back to this decade as the beginning of our own revolution.

The Umbono program lasts for 6 months—enough time for your team to get your idea formally off the ground or to prepare your existing business for its next round of funding. By the end of the program, you’ll be pitch-ready and have a business plan in place.

I've seen more than a few people comparing record labels to venture capitalists recently and this is not a nice comparison to make. Let me try to explain why I think that comparison is (a) false and (b) not nice.

I was talking to PG the other day, and he told me that the quality of the startup founders in YC are getting better and better every batch. Founders are more savvy now, and no longer ask questions like, "So when we get money from investors, when do we have to pay them back?" In the same way that you should hire people better than you, I'd want the next YC batch to be magnitudes better than our...
I've been getting a lot of requests for startup advice lately, which is great because I like helping startup people as best I can. However, I've found myself giving a lot of the same advice, so I decided to try to codify it in the following flow-chart. Most investors and been-there-done-that entrepreneurs are very busy people, so I imagine this chart more generally applies for seeking startup...
