First slide: be single, have no children, and not in a job you like: that's it, you can start a startup! I personally think every slide presented here is the reason why some people would say VCs hurt your startup instead of help it: everything here is to maximize the probability that the VC does not lose money on your startup, and not to maximize your chance of success.

I dont like the vibe when the other YC dude joins him. When presenting alone this dude is such an effective and helpful mentor

@WhyWouldYouDrawThat
I would add that a solo founder is far far far better than a solo founder + a 50% drag factor. i.e. where did you find your cofounder(s)? It’s not the idea (though it can’t suck), it’s the people who succeed (at most anything). Choose wisely, or not at all. Investors don’t like deadweight.
