YCombinator is one of the original and most well-known startup “incubators”*, and once a year they host an event at Stanford called Startup School.
This year’s event happened on October 20th, and featured (as usual) a truly remarkable group of speakers, all who have in their own way put a dent in the universe. Some of them are famous only in technology circles, like Tom Preston-Werner, the founder of Github, and others are more widely known, such as Mark Zuckerberg, Founder of you-know-what.
The videos (minus one) are available online now, and if you’re working now on a startup or a startup idea, they are full of tremendously useful advice. Go check them out.

* Many call it the original incubator, but I’d probably call it an evolution of Bill Gross’ Idealab, although Biz & Ev’s Obvious Corp is probably a better spiritual successor. (return)
