@5harath That's awesome to hear! If you're actively working on a company, I suggest you and your co-founder go through the Active Founder track (instead of the Future Founder track) on Startup school!
I did Startup School at the beginning of the year and this is great. Great content and the platform has been improved a lot. Really smart move to get founders where they are :-) Bravo ?makers
Startup School is amazing. We went twice and it helped us a lot, with both knowledge and credits for some popular services. Totally recommended!
@catheryn
Good news. But I didn't get what's the main difference between this one and your basic course. I see that there is the same curriculum content, no? :)
Hi Product Hunt! I’m Cat, an engineer on Startup School. We’re super excited to announce our new Future Founders course! It begins today (November 9) and lasts for 6 weeks. We have great curriculum lined up, and a video call every Tuesday that consists of an AMA with a YC partner as well as breakout sessions for folks to meet each other.
If you’ve ever thought, “I’d like to start a company someday,” come check it out! Our team is here to answer any questions and we’d love to hear your feedback.
I've done this 2 times, so I would go for it again, mostly for the networking and the vibe around YC SC. Love it!
@teodeleanu That's awesome! If you are actively working on a startup, I would recommend the Active Founder track within our continuous program :)
Startup School is the best online resource I've ever found. I still can't believe it exists. It's a bunch of super smart, super successful founders who have seen thousands of companies go through YC, giving you the blueprint to build a company in a clear and concise format. It's an insane democratization of knowledge. I wish very much that I had discovered it before I had already made lots of the mistakes they warn about on my first product 😛
@camacrain Thank you for the kind words! I hope you continue to get value out of Startup School (or check out ycombinator.com/library for more resources) :)
Congrats on the launch @catheryn!
I've been following startup school since it's inception: such a great way to get knowledge about growing a startup, and extremely valuable for everyone, even those of us in the process!
In addition, it's easy to use and follow. Looking forward to more content from this team!
@alex_chen1 Thanks for the support, Alex! So happy to hear you got value out of Startup School :)
@catheryn ?corbtt so I am already enrolled in the startup school and I don't see this?
@catheryn @bishalsaha If you're already in Startup School, but think the future founder course would be a better fit for you, you can certainly join! Go to 'my profile' in your Startup School dashboard, and then click on 'choose a track'.
@catheryn @bishalsaha @theriodegennaro The future founder track is better for folks who are not actively working on a company right now. If you are working on a startup idea right now, and the deals are a good resource, then you're probably better suited for the active founder track in Startup School.
Startup School was an incredible value for us at Waydev and their initiative is amazing!
@alex_circei Thanks for the kind words Alex. We're happy to hear that SUS helped move your company forward.
✔︎ This is all totally free, BTW. You just sign up and you can access all the content.
It's just a must-have for every maker, entrepreneur, founder like a YC Library materials.
Would have loved this a few years back in undergrad, glad to see it coming out now!
This is awesome! I have been looking for a course for early founders and this checks the box!
