Do you want to benefit the most from the Y Combinators lectures? Then do the course projects. Work on the assignments at home and bring your questions in class. Let the discussion help you shoot all the troubles away. Project 1 Come up with 5 business ideas. For each, briefly answer the following questions: what are you going to build? Who needs it? How do you know? Why is this a good idea? Note: The ideas don’t need to be related to any of the things in your log, but it would be surprising if none of those problems had a related business idea. Project 2 Choose one of your ideas from Project 1, and refine it. Write a 2 page overview fleshing out answers to the questions: What are you going to build? What are the primary features? What will it generally look like? Who needs it? Why? What are they using right now? Why is this a good idea? Who are your competitors? How will you get users? If you can hack, between now and Project 3 - get feedback from users, you should build out a prototype; no matter how simple or rough, you will find user feedback to be much more meaningful if you have something they can play with.
