Startup Essays by PG
Nov 23rd, 2023
I'm a big fan of Paul Graham (aka PG) and YC. In 2011, I left my management consulting job to learn how to code. It was around this time I discovered PG, YC, and HN. I knew I wanted to do my own startup, and PG's words resonated and inspired me.
When talking with others about starting a startup or doing YC, I often send PG essays. I've done this so many times that I realized I should just compile a list and share that. So here it is.
- How To Do What You Love
- How To Make Wealth
- How To Start A Startup
- Ideas for Startups
- Startups in 13 Sentences
- What Startups Are Really Like
- Maker's Schedule, Manager's Schedule
- Why YC
YC was a dream for me, and I'm grateful that I did it with my best friend. I highly encourage folks to apply. Even if you're not thinking of doing the program, the application questions are good food for thought.
