"Make your first 100 users happy. Conviction when the world is telling you you are wrong. Frugality = efficiency. Both in time and money. Launch fast. Create 10x value. Do more with less. Identify the exponential change that you are going to ride."
It's great to see Paul doing so well! We grew up in the same town, went the same high school, and even went to the same college in Ohio. I remember signing up for the early beta of Gmail and hearing that Paul was responsible for it. So cool to see he is still so passionate about what he's doing. Keep living the dream Paul!
That's why I prefer free flowing talks by actual founders explaining how they built their companies from a garage or basement, which I find a lot more inspiring (I collect such talks), but that's probably a function of where I am in my journey. Please let the founder talk. The questions can come later.
@@Buddfox Geoff Ralston is the president of YC and Paul Buchheit is a partner. Maybe he’s not technically his boss, I don’t know how the internal management of YC works. But those are their positions.
The interviewer completely missed the significance of the words "for fb, the needs of the network is more imp than the needs of the user". Thats very deep
Geoff knows what that means. As a YC founder, Paul spoke often about founder to market fit that relates to Mark Z optimizing the network over the user (opposite of google).
Amazing stories... It was so cool to hear the early stories of FB and Google... How it felt like innevitable success because they were just that good...

So grateful to YC for open-sourcing these vids
you mean "publishing". This is not software :D
"open-sourcing" I like it😂
I say “liberating”
can we not use open source for things that arent open source, words have meanings
It's a joke@@swyxTV

the interviewer interrupts many times when I want to hear the whole story from Paul

Totally agree 💯. Interviewer sucked.

This interviewer ruined the whole interview by interrupting too much...
Watching it in 2021. 2018 was such a innocent time..
Great content though.. Thanks YC.

26:50 the most important lesson
Amazing stories... It was so cool to hear the early stories of FB and Google... How it felt like innevitable success because they were just that good...
Wow... Love this session presentation. Learned a lot from Paul and Geoff. Great job YC
Love is a heart. Obsession is large eyes because you can't look away. Frugality is a stretched dollar.
44:09 again please stop interrupting your guest we missed interesting information here.

Will this guy ever stop people interrupting?
I took many lessons from this channel and exactly this video, appreciate your work!
This interview was awesome, so many learnings. Thanks.
So much good information in this interview
Thank you Geoff and Paul. Nice to meet you
Good content 👍🏻👍🏻 and keep it up! At same time, the interview would be even better if the interviewee’s replies is allowed to have more flow.
Wow, did I hear him say "gmail"?

Paul Buchheit is a great coach. To start a company worth 100 billion dollars, you have to leave them alone, you have to have a billion friends.
7:10 "They were into whatever they were doing" ... great heuristic for choosing where to work!
That's the drive I admire.
Facebook stole the *like* button, I knew it! :P
Great interview, very interesting :)
at least this helps facebook become more popular
Amazing again. Thank You
Great Information💼
Thank you for the great talk
the interviewer interrupts many times
It's so annoying when the interviewer constantly interrupts the person being interviewed, I mean what is the point of an interview after all?...
This thumbnail was !clickbait
Very interesting
Insightful. But the title of this needs to be changed.
Uniform is good
also fyi your wiki photo isn't as flattering as your current look (well 3 years ago anyways)
Doing more with less is like biking downhill...
Find customer who is extreme pain
Stop interrupting and start listening man
Geoff face expression than he needs to change the microphon is sooo different compare to his host one:) (37:53)
Nice beard Paul !

Hi
Why Geoff looks like Spoke? 😂

Startups are like ecology, get a your seat in the environment or another animal will take it

@The interviewer - STOP INTERRUPTING. Learn to listen and let him speak. It's so annoying seeing you try to add your comments in between.
