It feels like YC is the mainstream thing nowadays, the traditional school of startupery. But startup founders and hackers like the naughty [0] things, not the established. [0]: ▶ this video

Find a customer. If you can find one customer who has a pain point that is strong enough for which they are willing to pay $$ and even tolerate a sub-standard product/service, you're probably on to something. This is also what PG advises [0]. I've been bootstrapping my startup, I landed a fairly well-known startup as a client which is helping a great deal. Delivering a good quality service gave me capital and credibility to now parlay for future business. [0] ▶ this video

Thank you for the mention. My quantum-of-one [0] was my late 94-year-old grandfather [1]. My brother and I gave NanaGram to him for his birthday. (Well, really it was a quantum of two because my grandmother also loves getting photos in the mail.) I got married this past June and at the wedding shower my Mom gave my wife lingerie while chanting "4 kids! 4 kids! 4 kids!" As you can probably tell, my Mom has 4 kids. My initial use case was "I want to send curated 4x6 prints from my 3 siblings and I to my grandparents." Most people using NanaGram send photos to their loved ones but we do have some folks sending photos to themselves. @trykondev FYI your title tag is "Mysite." This is a super fun space to be in. Good luck with your launch. I think grandparents and moms are some the best of quantums. [0] ▶ this video [1] [link]

▶ this video He doesn't sound sorry =p But if he really did "choose" the other guys, then maybe calling him the founder isn't so wrong.
