Sam Altman of Y Combinator will be sharing his insights starting September 23rd; sign up for the class here:
CS183B is a class we’re teaching at Stanford. It’s designed to be a sort of one-class business course for people who want to start startups.
Videos of the lectures, associated reading materials, and assignments will all be available here. There will be 20 videos, some with a speaker or two and some with a small panel. It’ll be 1,000 minutes of content if you watch it all.
We’ll cover how to come up with ideas and evaluate them, how to get users and grow, how to do sales and marketing, how to hire, how to raise money, company culture, operations and management, business strategy, and more.
You can’t teach everything necessary to succeed in starting a company, but I suspect we can teach a surprising amount. We’ve tried to take some of the best speakers from the past 9 years of Y Combinator dinners and arrange them in a way that will hopefully make sense.
We’re doing this because we believe helping a lot of people be better at starting companies will be good for everyone. It will hopefully be valuable even for people who don’t want to start startups.
Talks like these have really helped Y Combinator founders create their companies. We hope you find it helpful too!

Great informative blog. Taking that one big step is the main problem with all the people who are aspiring to start their own startup. The fact that they don't realize is that one big step would change their life forever for good.There are many entrepreneurs like Varun Manian , Rohan Bhansal who started their career with working for some firm and then started their own empire.
