Startup School: How to Get and Evaluate

YC Group Partner Jared Friedman shares a framework for how to get and evaluate startup ideas. 

Big Ideas:
► Start with a problem
► Avoid tarpit ideas that are very difficult to solve.
► Think of your first idea as a starting point
► Competition is good. It shows there is a market for the idea.
► Don’t worry about your passion for the idea. Ideas grow on founders if it starts to work.
► Look for ideas in your area of expertise for Founder Market Fit.
