EARLY ADOPTERS ARE EVERYTHING
Who are early adopters for your product?
     What are the influential channels to
     reach them?
4. Be persistent, work smart
WHAT STARTUPS ARE REALLY LIKE
                                                                                    BY Y-COMBINATOR STARTUPS



      “       The emotional ups and downs were the biggest
              surprise for me.
   I've been surprised again and again by just how much more important persistence is than raw intelligence.


                                                                                                               ”
        “      I've been surprised again and again by just how much
               more important persistence is than raw intelligence.
                                                                                                               ”
      “        I'm continually surprised by how long everything
               can take. Assuming your product doesn't
               experience the explosive growth that very few
               products do, everything from development to
               dealmaking seems to take 2-3x longer than I
               always imagine.
                                                                                                               ”
      “        It is never a single thing. Everything is just
               incremental and you just have to keep doing lots of
               those things until you strike something.
                                                                                                               ”
