As a solo founder, I found startup school invaluable. It really helped keep me honest with myself to discuss what I had done and what I will do at the weekly office hours. I would recommend Startup School to any startup but if you're a solo founder then I think you will find the weekly office hours especially valuable. Here's my presentation: Pingy is a desktop app to create, share and deploy websites: https://www.st…
Based on the comments in this thread, it seems like there was some sort of instruction for all the students to come here and post about their experience, which has resulted in a complete non-discussion.
There were no instructions to come here and post about our experience, but most of us are huge HN fans so that naturally happens. And hey, since you're here already, check out my presentation on Toby: https://www.startupschool.org/presentations/649 hahaha. Cheers!
I recommend the program to anyone thinking about starting a startup. The highlight was having live mentorship from very successful startup founders. My mentor had raised tens of millions in VC funding for his startup. He spent 2 hours with us every week. My presentation: https://www.startupschool.org/presentations/242

Thanks to the YC team for the opportunity. Our advisor (whom is also Sequoia backed) had a breadth of knowledge. Listening to his advice to other teams was very valuable. The next best value was watching the partners conduct Office Hours. Would definitely love feedback for our presentation https://www.startupschool.org/presentations/355 And if you're an immigrant living in the US, I'd love to chat about the experienc…
