As an innovation and entrepreneurship professor building my own startup, the R3ciprocity project, I recently participated in Y Combinator's Startup School online program. While I found the program to be highly valuable and led by confident, knowledgeable professionals, I believe it's about 80% of the way to being truly comprehensive. In this review, I discuss the strengths of the program and highlight areas for improvement, particularly in providing guidance for entrepreneurs who are building their startups solo and need strategies for long-term sustainability without external support.

A friend suggested that I celebrate Episode 100 of this podcast by reuniting my former co-hosts, Peter Marriott and Zoe Kors. Since Peter and I started recording the podcast in June, much has changed - some of it good and some not-so-good. For a start, Peter moved to Sheffield, where he had been a lecturer at the University for many years. He is rekindling old friendships, making lots of new ones, and dabbling in the local kink scene.Zoe, meanwhile, is on the verge of launching a new course, Practical Intimacy for Couples, is writing her memoir (!), and, from the sound of it, has a full roster of clients.I'm also juggling the increasing demands of hosting this podcast alongside my new role as UK Sales & Marketing Director for Firmtech, singing and co-facilitating Startup School for Seniors. I hope you enjoy this particular episode.

Jessica Livingston is a co-founder of Y Combinator, the first and most successful startup accelerator. Y Combinator has funded over 5,000 companies, 200 of which are now unicorns, including Airbnb, Dropbox, DoorDash, Stripe, Coinbase, and Reddit. Jessica played a crucial role in YC's early success, when she was nicknamed the “social radar” because of her uncanny ability to quickly evaluate people—an essential skill when investing in early-stage startups. She's also the host of the popular podcast The Social Radars, where she interviews billion-dollar-startup founders, and the author of the acclaimed book Founders at Work, which captures the origin stories of some of today's most interesting companies. In our conversation, we discuss:• How Jessica gained the affectionate title of the “social radar”• Why defensive founders are a red flag• How to develop your social radar• What she looks for in founders during YC interviews• How YC's early inexperience in angel investing led to the batch model• Her favorite stories from interviews with Airbnb, Rippling, and more• Lessons learned from hosting her own podcast• Much more—Brought to you by:• Enterpret—Transform customer feedback into product growth• Anvil—The fastest way to build software for documents• Vanta—Automate compliance.

Welcome to the Good Friday edition of the Friday Nooner—though in truth, any Friday with a new Nooner episode is a good one. This week, Primordial's Jenn Summe sat in Joe's chair (literally) because the GrepBeat Godfather is on a Spring Break trip with his kids to the nation's capital. Our guest was Susan Mahlburg, the Founder and CEO of Durham-based DiffyQ, an edtech platform that helps teachers better focus on the needs of individual students. We first profiled DiffyQ last October, shortly after she earned a $10K MICRO grant from NC DEA and shortly before we saw her pitch as part of CED's GRO Incubator Demo Day. Also in 2023: Mahlburg participated in the Launch Chapel Hill accelerator and finished her MBA at UNC's Kenan-Flagler, to go with her doctorate in education. Big year!

with @mclader @smc90 In this wide-ranging conversation, Uniswap Labs COO Mary Catherine (aka MC) Lader discusses the challenges -- and opportunities -- of decentralized finance (DeFi); business strategy (& competition) in a world of open source; product vs. protocol innovation... as well as organizational structure & collaboration, hiring, metrics, community engagement, app store policies, decentralization, and much, much more. The conversation -- based on an interview with host Sonal Chokshi and founder Q&A live from a16z crypto Startup School earlier this year -- also covers how to make decisions on what to innovate on or not; how to move from  idea and vision to business; and the transition overall from traditional finance/ tradfi.

Welcome to Season 2, Episode 31 of the 3%ers Business Coaching podcast. This latest episode is an interview with Mark Elliot This is how Mark describes himself; I've made a few fresh starts, but as a business coach, enabling others who are over 50 to make their best new start is the most rewarding. Being middle-aged has so many advantages too, we know who we are, more or less and we have bags of experience and expertise. We know what we want, or at least a strong sense of what we don't. We know our values and passions, and we crave a life filled with that meaning and purpose. That often means impacting the world more positively as well as personal success. This is where I can help because I've been there. As a business coach, I use all my knowledge and experience gained over 30 years in various industries, start-ups and scaleups, service agencies, and manufacturing companies. I've experienced successes and failures and am driven to help people avoid the same mistakes I made and help them achieve work or a business filled with an expression of who they are and what they want to offer the world. Check out Mark's amazing work by going to;

En este programa hablamos con Daniela Kominsky, miembro de la Junta directiva de Women4Cyber y con Nazareth Rodrigáñez del área de Alianzas Estratégicas de Tetuan Valley Con Daniela y Nazareth pudimos hablar de una iniciativa muy interesante en la que Woman4Cyber y Tetuan Valley han unido esfuerzos. Esta iniciativa es fomentar el emprendimiento de las mujeres en el mundo de la ciberseguridad. Es un hecho que en las áreas STEM la participación de las mujeres no es algo mayoritario y sin la diversidad de pensamiento y puntos de vista que aportan las mujeres, el mundo STEM y en concreto el mundo Ciber pierde un importante valor. A lo largo de la entrevista con Daniela y con Nazareth estuvimos conversando sobre los distintos elementos que favorecen o perjudican el emprendimiento en general, pero también sobre las causas especificas que afectan más a las mujeres que en ocasiones no encuentran referentes en el mundo Cyber otras veces las obligaciones familiares les impiden afrontar los retos que supone el emprendimiento. También hablamos sobre algunas circunstancias que pueden hacer más fácil emprender en otras partes del mundo. Pero sobre todo nos centramos en la iniciativa que tanto Women4Cyber como Tetuan Valley han lanzado y que gracias a la Startup School estan ayudando a emprendedores con sus proyectos y el día 30 de Junio podremos ver todo el trabajo que llevan haciendo desde finales de Mayo en el DemoDay al que os invitamos a apuntaros.

Startup School 2019 の講義の読み起こしです。 https://review.foundx.jp/entry/how-to-talk-to-users

This is Suzanne's third appearance on the podcast sharing her latest entrepreneurial idea. Over the years she has carved out a career in a variety of different industries, from baby slings to time saving apps, to the TV industry. Suzanne's focus is now on challenging the narrative around ageing and she has launched a series of businesses to do just that, from the social enterprise ‘Advantages of Age' to Startup School for Seniors, which we heard about in last week's episode. Her most recent business idea is aimed, again, at the over 50s and is called Nestful. They help the over 50s to find the perfect housemate, by matching lodgers of any age with homeowners over 50. Seniors with spare rooms can use the online forum to safely find suitable houseguests to make their spare space work hard and to have company from someone with similar interests and values.

Suzanne is a serial entrepreneur who has had a diverse career which included PR for big entertainment brands, founding a TV company, creating a baby sling company and launching money saving app Frugl. I interviewed Suzanne for the podcast back in 2019 to talk about Advantages of Age, the social enterprise she founded after attempting to join the London technology start up industry and realising she was the oldest person in the room. Suzanne is back to talk about one of her latest ventures; co-founding ‘Startup School for Seniors'. The aim of her latest not-for-profit is to help the over 50s turn their business ideas into reality in just 8 weeks. In our conversation, Suzanne shares the story behind this idea, how Startup School for Seniors works and real life examples of people who have got their business ideas off the ground as a result.

Social activity is vital for independance in later life - Mature Movers (S2:E2)In today's episode, I had the pleasure of talking with serial later living entrepreneur Suzanne Noble (founder of Advantages of Age). Join us as we take a journey through Suzanne's wonderful entrepreneurial experience as well as learning about Startup School (her business startup programme) and Silver Sharers (the housesharing tool for older adults). In Suzanne's words, "it is about helping people over 50 manifest the life that they desire in whatever shape or form that happens to be!"Get in touch with Suzanne and Advantages of Age at:LinkedIn : https://www.linkedin.com/in/suzannenoble Instagram + Facebook : @advantagesofageWebpage : https://advantagesofage.com/ and https://startupschoolforseniors.com/ and https://www.nestful.io/ Hosted on Acast.

Marc Andreessen talks about the history and future of Silicon Valley.

Suzanne Noble started up her site 'Advantages of Age' five years ago to bust through the negative narrative around aging, we also discuss her Startup School for Seniors (and startup culture more generally), and her newest venture nestful.io which aims to make co-living for the over 50s as easy as ordering dinner on Deliveroo... If you've ever harboured not-so-secret dreams of growing old disgracefully with your girlfriends on an alpaca farm in Wales (just me?) then you'll really enjoy this one!
