Here’s how to win from the losers bracket 

-1- Solo Founder a #LTMVP

-2- five Way Proprietorship 

-3- ageism. YC only loves you sub 25

-4- Self Study YC. Ace a theoretical exam based on YC entrepreneurial essays 

-5- distribute

-6- talk to customers. 

-7- cs183d

-8- YC elites won’t do cs 183d work, so you’re in luck losers bracket

-9- a PhD might slide in, but entrepreneurship is pretty much just Chapter 9

-10- Ten Lies of Success
