I hear that YC advice and me and Professor Blank, Professor Kosnik and Professor Byers think “getting out of the building” helps. Steve Blank cites on page 99 of “Four Steps to The Epiphany” that founders of startups are often forced to sell for the very first time in their lives!

Let us duck #Ch9 bankruptcy. Let us avoid what Professor Blank calls ‘startup death spiral’

Its where founder who are sales virgins try to outsource selling to a VP of Sales. Then the VP of sales gets fired which leads to a founder getting fired. In the 710 Series

Heyyyyyy YC. Does this sound familiar to you!? Am I bringing up a pattern that makes you understand why that friend of a friend at YC is now going to business school. Period, not a question. So, cs183YC at SXSW part 4 of 5 is 80% of the way done because 4 divided by 5 is 0.800000.

#cs183yC part 4 of five at South by Southwest is five exact addresses to head to:

2050 University Avenue

True story, Justin Kan used to be new to Silicon Valley too…

Here is their address “300 Pioneer”

Interior Door is a sequel business that is 100% owned by the owner. Just like Duck9

3/10/16, 7:22 AM Every address from 748.8 #FICO748pt8 to 850, I care about #850BarackObamaAve<~ #530Lytton<~ #cs183yC #SXSW pic.twitter.com/mPThHS2sn5

850BarackObamaAve is a future address that doubles as a FICO.

530 Lytton = office hours on Saturdays
