Is this available as a podcast? I can't find it, but I'd like to listen to these as I drive to my non-startup job.

Anyone seeking a deeper dive into the legal foundations of startup formation, Clerky's Handbook forms a good companion to this:

It seems so incredibly generous of this that I caught myself being so cynical as to doubt any ulterior motives at attracting just more companies to YC overall. But it seems to me that these resources and advice are made in earnest, thank you Sam Altman (and Gregory Koberger!) for the contribution of these materials.

Yep. Use Chrome Dev Tools, Network tab you can see each mp3 as it is opened and downloaded. Here's the intro: https://storytime.voxsnap.com/30/audio/2018/09/14/ycombinato...

Either iterate through each section guessing the URL or give dev tools a go.

EDIT: See my comment here for all of the mp3s: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18917784

This has actually been around for a couple years now. It is so good, in fact, that we actually require new hires at Kodable to read this as part of their onboarding, since it describes how we operate and make decisions as a company so well.

If you would like to download the entirety of the audio to listen to later, I've grabbed each mp3 and collated them here:
