How to Succeed With Your Startup?

by
I just watched Sam Altman's talk about "how to succeed with a startup". It is short, yet inspiring and I want to share it with you too. You can watch the full video here 👉 https://youtu.be/0lJKucu6HJc?si=... or here is my listed notes of what you need to create a successful startup according to Sam Altman: ✅ A product so good that people tell friends ✅ Easy to understand product ✅ Exponential growth in market ✅ Betting on real trends (eg. Iphone) vs fake trends (eg. VR) ✅ Ambitious vision ✅ Confident and definite view of future ✅ Huge if it works ✅ Team (smart, hard working team) ✅ Have optimists in your team ✅ Have some idea generators in the team ✅ Spirit of "we'll figure it out" ✅ "I've got it, I'll do it" spirit ✅ Work with people that have bias towards action ✅ The blessing of inexperience ✅ Momentum (never lose it) ✅ Competitive advantage over time ✅ Sensible business model ✅ Distribution strategy ✅ Frugality, focus, obsession, love ✅ Speed and agility What do you think, how do you see yourself according to this list of items?

I watched this before. Y Combinator videos always teach valuable real-world lessons.
