TL;DR
Startup School 2019 is redesigned to better serve pre-launch, part-time, single, and international founders by focusing on idea evaluation (like an investor), free co-founder matching via a directory and group sessions, and 18 in-person meetup cities.
Key insights
- 83% of 2018 Startup School participants were pre-launch, 52% worked full-time, 63% were single founders, 59% were international.
- The lectures are the least important part of Startup School; the ten-week structure, group sessions, and weekly updates are the most powerful.
- In the early days of Wufoo, founders personally answered customer support for two years, responding on average in 7–12 minutes, and the person responding was always an engineer.
