#2It's awesome that the curriculum is newly created for this term AND that the old curriculum is logged in the library page.

#3When you're in YC they tell you that a huge part of being a successful founder is "managing your psychology." I wish they would elevate that to a first-class concept in their startup education.

We did! The session taught by Daniel Gross: "Life as a Founder" will largely be focused on this.

#5Thanks YC for doing this.
>100 companies who complete the course will also receive $10K.
Depending on your location and what position you are in your career , Funding can be a big issue.
This small grant can be a big help to start a business , but 100 companies is quiet limited to be honest.

They're giving a million dollars to companies and asking for no equity in return and you're giving them crap for it? Unbelievable.

> you're giving them crap for it
Wait , what ? My comment started by "Thanks" that's a weird interpretation really...
If you have 1000 companies following the course that's like 10% chance of getting funding, regardless of whether or not there is an equity that's the point.

#8Anyone have an opinion if this curriculum would be useful for people currently working at a startup or wanting to do intrapreneurship?

Do cofounders often have a chaotic relationship secretly, or is it mostly positive?
It’s always positive outwardly, of course, but I’m asking about the side that people rarely see. It’s hard to know what’s normal and what’s not. And that’s a problem when you’re trying to evaluate whether someone is a good fit as a cofounder.
Consider Jamie and Adam from mythbusters. They can’t stand each other. But when they work together, things get done. Are most cofounders like that, or is that the exception rather than the rule?
