Most people are in Startup School haven't even started or have no idea. SUS is a perfect place to start on a small project with other people. From our experience at YC, getting a cofounder is the single best thing to improve the odds of your startup.

Startup School is a good way to start finding a friend with similar interests. You gotta start somewhere.

We have a video conf system we offer on Startup School website, but teams are welcome to organize something else if they can all agree.

Startup School is now open to all. Taking spot doesn't take away from anyone else now.

That's when you had to apply to Startup School for limited spots. Now it's open to everyone for free, which means we don't require the intro video to just register/signup for the class.

This year, each lecture is no more than 20 minutes. On any given week, there will be a max of 1 hour of video content for you to watch. More important than the lectures will be dedicating 30-60 minutes each week to participate in group sessions with other SUS founders.

At the minimum, to be considered active: you need to submit a weekly update about your progress every week (probably 5-15 minutes max).

Every week we release about an 1 hour of video content for you to watch.

Every week, there are group sessions with other SUS founders for you to talk about your startup. These should be about 30-60 minutes.

We provide discussion questions before your group sessions to give you topics to think about. Between 10-30 minutes of prep depending on how seriously you take it.

If you come to a SUS meetup in person, those are probably 2 hour events.

As you can see, it's probably a max of 2-3 hours a week in regards to time we ask of you. How much time you dedicate to your startup is up to you.

Yes! It's okay if you don't know which idea you want to pursue. Our first lecture actually goes over how to evaluate ideas for potential and helping you weigh and decide which to pursue.

Ah, good catch. Thanks for sharing a recording of the bug.

Hey HN, this is Kevin Hale, one of the partners at YC. I'll be hosting this year's Startup School alongside Adora Cheung. We learned a lot from last year's class and the Startup School team is really excited about this next iteration. Over the next few weeks, we're going to talk about some of those changes in more detail--about the data that drove those decisions and the new software we made to improve the experience for founders.

If you have any immediate questions about the course, please do let us know.

New comment by kevin in "The Great American Share – Sam Altman Interview on Basic Income"

We did this interview with Sam a few weeks before he posted his recent essay on the topic. Not having to coordinate illustrations definitely helps with publishing speed. :) During the interview, we realized it was the first time I had heard him talk about the GDP idea as an answer to the branding problem of bringing UBI to America.

It's not just for hardware and software companies. Service companies can be pre or post launch too.
