How To Start a Startup Series
If you are growing a small business or bootstrapping a company, you might be interested in the free series of videos from Stanford called How To Start A Startup. They took some of the best videos from 9 years of Y-Combinator dinners and arranged them by topic. Each video addresses a different aspect of starting and growing a business.
As you can imagine, most of the business ideas and young startups are tech and software. However, I think you’ll find a lot of value no matter what your niche. For example, in this lecture Alex Schultz, VP of Growth of Facebook, shares good insight on customer retention, customer “magic moments” that drive growth, why you should not focus on your top customers to achieve massive growth, and more.
