ya fair enough, definitely a difference in quality between PG's lecture and this one to be able to quote from. Still thought Kevin had some decent content though

A very very well delivered lecture. I love that YC is taking a stance against buzzwords like growth hacking, and getting startups to look maniacally at building a solid product that gets to product/market fit quickly. Seems pretty consistent across lectures from PG, Peter Thiel and now Alex as well.

And much like the other lectures, here are 24 quotes from Alex's lecture worth remembering: https://medium.com/how-to-start-a-startup/24-quotes-from-ale...

His depth and insight into the industry is fascinating. Here are 32 Peter Thiel quotes from the lecture that I took note of - https://medium.com/how-to-start-a-startup/32-quotes-from-pet...

agree on the basketball reference, the analogy definitely made it easy to understand

One reason why I think this lecture probably hasn't generated as many comments/upvotes is because there may have been too many topics put into just 1 lecture. I think it may have been more effective if the content was split out into maybe 2 or 3 separate lectures that went into a bit more depth like.. -Building a product (covering the MVP, the decision process around what features are most important and what's not, etc) - Customer Development/talking to users (the environment to interview them, types of questions to ask them, types not to ask,etc) - Growth (different types of growth, what Homejoy focused on at each stage, potential challenges they went through etc)

I recognize that since it's a Stanford course, they are probably capped with the amount of time they have during the semester as well.
