It's so cool seeing the contrast between the first fellow and the second. One who kind of had a great idea and likes coasting, wanted to give up and eat ice cream vs. the guy who sleeps with the phone under his pillow, still answering emails with spelling errors to this day, two very different approaches

@@-Jason-L Exactly. None of these companies rip off contractors - this use of their time is worth more than a.) working for someone else, or b.) doing something other than working. If it wasn't, they wouldn't have drivers and they'd not have a business
There is something I don't quite understand, how can you just put up a web page on the internet, then traffic coming by itself, which turn out into orders. I feel there is some details skipped by Stanley.
I believe the 'trigger' was a phone number, no ordering features. Stanley probably didn't expect someone to ring but one did who ordered Thai food which he then had to fulfil.
Yeah, I agree. It must have been either picked up by a local listing site like Craigslist or they ran some Ads with AdWords. I doubt that was from organic search.
yeah sort of odd that he already had FAQ within an hour... My startup has been around for a year and still doesn't have an FAQs page, which probably should.
I'm confused. The Twitch guy did not really talk about his own experiences with press, and how it helped grow his business; did Twitch heavily leverage press exposure in the early days? And if so, how?
analysis paralysis is a common issue many founder struggles with before launching there start-up. I watched a video previously of a guy explaining the early mistakes of a young Mark Zuckerberg, concluding to him not knowing how to properly set up a LLC. You don't need to have to all together, you really don't even need to have a keen understanding of the product you seek to seek to consumers. You simply need to get going.
I think Sandeep Maheshwari is truly inspiring! His messages are so motivating and empowering. I love how he encourages people to believe in themselves and chase their dreams. He has a genuine passion for helping others, and it's amazing to see the impact he has made on so many lives. Have you found his videos helpful too?
How does doing things that don't scale help a startup other than the fact that very few people are interested in doing it thereby eliminating competition? If that's the only reason then why not just say "do things nobody wants to do". That would capture the idea much better.
43:01 Haha, nice trick. I'm a better writer than most of these tech bloggers anyway. Instead of bullet points, I should just ghost-write the article, hand it over to them and let them take credit.

Some product there? :)
Lmao it almost seemed like you skipped the first Lecture.
It’s amazing to hear all those fighting stories. These people teach one to just be humble and put in the work. Great stuff!
Walker Williams: you were the best well spoken and most clear speaker so far. Thank you.
the DoorDash story was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks for this.
Grateful for all videos on this channel. Thank you for uploading them. Extremely helpful.
Damn! This is nothing but GOLD! Thank you @Y Combinator
Did you start?

Thank you for sharing.
May your day BE filled with more thankfulness, encouragement and forward thinking today....
“Look ma, I do have a real job.” Man..that resonated
Lessons learnt: Founders need to spend a tremendous amount of their personal time to get the first users in an unscalable way.
I bet Sam Altman didn't know that he was going to make a chatty bot that the world would not stop talking to
He didn't.

great talk! very inspiring! Good job Stanley Tang!
Thanks Christina 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Talking to users helps you see problem that you are trying to solve in different perspective
The part with the e-mail 7:46 was funny :)))
It's kind of handy to be in the Valley 8-)

Finished, thx so much, learnt a lot
This video was made in October 2014 and Uber eats was founded in August 2014
This is so so informative. It has REALLY helped me in my PYPX - Primary Years Program eXhibition👏Hats off guys!!
Thank you so much for sharing!
what is new about doordash than other delivery apps?
The only difference is that doordash is founded by Y comb.
Contacts
Stock price go brrrrr
Justin, say like again!
It got to the point where I started cringing.
if I had a dollar for every time he said it, I could fund my own startup
I DARE YOU, SAY LIKE ONE MORE TIME!
Incredible how much door dash is worth now
By ripping off drivers 🙄
@caiseejc the drivers, who volunteer for it? Hardly being ripped off.

They somehow almost always skip the part where they "marketed" their website. NOBODY just accidentally "lands" on a random website by chance.

Uber would be wise to acquire DoorDash, they already have the infrastructure in place.
I don't think they would be interested in deviating their business or losing focus.
ThePsychology2010 uber just started delivery services.
How is it doing so far?
Good question. They just started earlier this year. The feedback from consumers have been good. But i don't know if there is enough demand for them.
Interesting! Where are you reading up on this?

too many uh, i mean, you know..
good talk but IMO it has been the weakest session so far.
It may be because the first 2 speakers are recent startup (hence less well known) so it may be a bit less "wow" factor, though what they said were really good
it was good but what i meant is that the bar has been set high with the previous sessions so it felt the weakest so far. (I actually liked the first 2 speakers better than the third one)
This talk is much more meaningful 5 years later.
@@nickbyrd1027 seriously man
Door dash, thy name is disaster. This is the peril of the YC BS: launch whatever, and the product is shit.
and yet the stock price go brrrr
not much to learn; other lessons are great, this kinda sucks... a lot
