This document discusses key points about startups from Paul Graham: - Choose co-founders based on personal compatibility, not just technical skills. Focus on understanding your users' needs, not startup expertise. - Starting a startup requires consuming work with no guarantees of success. Don't expect to trick investors; users must want your product. - The best way to get startup ideas is by learning about problems and working on topics you find interesting, not by trying to brainstorm ideas.

- 3. Paul Graham-Counterintuitive Facts About Startups • Just pick people like you are picking friends. Don’t partner with people because they are technically great. • No expertise in startups, but expertise in your users needs. Make something people want, forget about angel investors, pitches, VC’s, startup buzz words. • Starting a startup is where gaming the system stops working. There is no boss to trick, only users. • Startups are consuming. It never gets easy. Don’t start a startup in the college. • You can’t estimate whether you will be succesfull. The only way is to start. • The way to get startup ideas is not to try to think of startup ideas. Learn about things that matter. Work on problems that are interesting.

- 53. Jibo Case Study • Jibo tested demand in Indiegogo through crowdfunding. What are the potential advantages and disadvantages of this approach? Would you pursue the same path for your venture? Why, why not? • Should Jibo pursue a platform strategy at launch, or should the company build the initial applications themselves and evolve into a platform strategy in time? • When it comes time to develop a platform strategy, should Jibo take top-down approach (with strategic partners), a bottom-up (developler driven) approach, or a combination of the two? • If you were hired as head of strategy and in the room with Breazeal, Chambers, and Smith, what execution plan would you recommend to attract developer investment in a platform that will not be shipping for over a year?
