Startup School 2017 Presentations

We completed startup school (https://www.startupschool.org/presentations/470). Took us about 3 hours to create a Keynote presentation and add audio to it.

Hopefully, this provides a somewhat different perspective. We aren't your typical founders in their twenties.

Startup School was overall very positive. Speaking with our advisor, Michael Johnston was absolutely excellent. He is an absolute mensch, very helpful, consistently useful advice and very generous with his time.

That having been said, would I say that time spent on startup school consistently added more value than just spending that time doing one of a) hacking away and pushing forward, b) resting or c) exercising? Nope. If you need outside validation and an external push and someone keeping you accountable for you to keep pushing forward, it's going to have much more value. On the other hand, if you know what you need to get done and your startup is something that makes you jump out of bed in the morning so you can get to it, which is how I feel about our startup, I'm not sure that you aren't better off just doing that and avoiding any distractions.

The startup school videos were consistently very good. I would recommend everyone watch those, even on topics that they think they know a fair amount about.

Your site seems to be down at the moment.

I read your blurb under your presentation, admittedly did not watch your presentation. However I would say that your blurb comes off too much of an attack on robo advisors and not enough about your own company/approach and how you're different from every other active investor. I'd focus on why you're good, rather than on why the competition is bad.

Startup School was a blast. Connecting with like minded people, getting some sanity check and verification from YC alumni was awesome.

Startup School was really a great experience for us. More than anything, getting into the mindset of delivering weekly results really changed the internal team dynamic. It also forced us to be very clear about our priorities, which in turn has helped us really achieve laser focus. The results are starting show with traction on our platform.

The other thing that I really appreciated was the fact that everyone in the batch that participated in the calls was treated individually by our mentor, Gleb. Not entirely sure how he achieved this but I can definitely say that if you put the hours in, the program helped organized thoughts and streamline energy.

To close out, my mandatory plug :)
