If you’re YC and do not know, “d.t.t.d.s.”, just punch yourself in the dick while nicking half a berry. (If you’re a YC female, you don’t need to punch anyone bc your fear of “imposter syndrome” had yourself probably overprepparing by reading PG’s https:\/\/www.paulgraham.com\/ds.htm<\/a> 10x)<\/div>\n

[puInternship2<\/a>\u00a0was designed to help Cambridge and 94305 kids practice promotion]. 7, 7 hour pop up internships install the Larry Chiang sales brain inside your brain like Neo in The Matrix. The 7 internships are in my Twitter feed<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

No matter how smart u R, Palo Alto and Cambridge, you’re gonna need to “trade show”\u00a0\u00a0#puInternship1ggg<\/a>\u00a0#puInternship2<\/a>\u00a0steveblank.com\/2009\/05\/21\/tra\u2026<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n


\nSteve Blank as in Professor Steve Blank. He taught ENGR145, Engineering 245 and entrepreneurship at Cal (class number needed). Yup, trade shows\u00a0<\/span>steveblank.com<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Work the trade shows as if they’re a CS class with a bell curve. If you go to a school that gives all As and Bs, the bell curve implies what a B+ means at Stanford: You suck \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/div>\n

The truly Lean are at the unofficial\u00a0@leanstartup<\/a>\u00a0Conference afterparty at Interval Cafe\u00a0#leanstartup<\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n


\nThe\u00a0unofficial\u00a0@leanstartup<\/a>\u00a0Conference afterparty is a pattern I recommend that you pattern iterate. Here is why:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

– You can’t fail when you promote an afterparty at a cafe.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
– You will get press when you produce an afterparty.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
– You will maybe get Wall Street Journal coverage.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
– Doing an afterparty helps you get distribution\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
– Hosting helps you as a CS major outflank econ majors and hustle harder<\/span><\/div>\n
– Afterparties with tap water and coffee ARE ALL UPSIDE<\/span><\/div>\n
– afterparties help you Engineer Up A Tidal Wave of Momentum, Perpetual Promotion Machine\u00a0<\/embed><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n
