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

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

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.

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 bet Sam Altman didn't know that he was going to make a chatty bot that the world would not stop talking to

great talk! very inspiring! Good job Stanley Tang!

The part with the e-mail 7:46 was funny :))) It's kind of handy to be in the Valley 8-)

Talking to users helps you see problem that you are trying to solve in different perspective

Incredible how much door dash is worth now

Finished, thx so much, learnt a lot

what is new about doordash than other delivery apps?

This video was made in October 2014 and Uber eats was founded in August 2014

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?

like, i like this like a lot. like damn with them likes Justin haha

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.

Thank you so much for sharing!

Uber would be wise to acquire DoorDash, they already have the infrastructure in place.

Justin, say like again!

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.

Guys I am also going to create a business modal like DoorDash, I think in my city, it can do work, Any suggestions?

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 to build technology for small business owners and s*** them

good talk but IMO it has been the weakest session so far.

Door dash, thy name is disaster. This is the peril of the YC BS: launch whatever, and the product is shit.

not much to learn; other lessons are great, this kinda sucks... a lot

Smartass Asians are handsome level 2000

Steve Bannon and Trump were right about what's happening to Silicon Valley. Sad for US...
