The hard part of this is that most founders think that they are doing user interviews while all they are doing are sales discovery calls. Hint: A good user interview is the one where you never mention your product or maybe only mention it in the last 10 minutes.

Great talk by @gustaf at @ycombinator @startupschool. One of the most important tools in an entrepreneur's arsenal is knowing how to do good user interviews.
We often say "talk to your users," but actually doing that is surprisingly tricky. In his talk, YC Group Partner @gustaf gives non-obvious advice on how to run a great user interview and how to interpret the feedback in these conversations. Tune in ➡️

Another great example of @ycombinator making behind-the-scenes knowledge public and freely available to everyone. One of the best videos by @mwseibel and @daltonc on tarpit ideas and why founders keep falling for this repeatedly!. Here's to knowing the common paths of failure!.
Thinking of a new startup idea or pivoting away from your current one?. In the latest episode, @daltonc and @mwseibel share their advice on pivoting, and discuss the types of ideas to stay away from—what we commonly refer to as "tarpit ideas.". Tune in ➡️

This is a gem of a post by Jared @snowmaker at @ycombinator!. Anyone thinking of starting up, recently started up, or pivoting; please watch this, think about it for a while, and then watch it once again. Still can't believe so much good advice can be given in just 30 mins!.
How do you find and evaluate startup ideas?. YC Group Partner @snowmaker shares a framework to do just that, with examples from YC founders and the inside stories of how they came up with the ideas that turned into billion dollar companies. Tune in 👉🏾

The true value of @ycombinator from the horse's mouth! There is so much misconception about YC and whether it's worth it. You have to watch this to know the truth. P.S. We are not mafia! Well, almost 😃.
