Welcome to Startupping
Startupping is a one-of-a-kind community resource created for Internet entrepreneurs by Internet entrepreneurs. It is a place to share information, ask questions, and tap into the experience of others who have built and are building web businesses. Read blog posts about startup issues, participate in our discussion forums, and view our wiki resources, including sample term sheets and a glossary. For more information about the Startupping site, see our about page.
Y Combinator is a new kind of venture firm specializing in funding early stage startups. We help startups through what is for many the hardest step, from idea to company.
We invest mostly in software and web services. And because we are ourselves technology people, we prefer groups with a lot of technical depth. We care more about how smart you are than how old you are, and more about the quality of your ideas than whether you have a formal business plan.

Where: Kresge Auditorium, Stanford University.
When: 24 March 2007, 9:00 am.
Application Deadline: 3 March 2007.
Are you a hacker who has thought about one day starting a startup? Then you're invited to a free, one-day startup school this March 24 at Stanford.
We'll have a range of experts speaking on all the things you need to know to start a company: what makes a good startup idea and where to get them; what to look for in a co-founder; how to get angel and VC funding; how to incorporate a company and what agreements founders should have among themselves; when and how to apply for patents; what can go wrong in a startup; what acquirers look for; and how the acquisition process works.
One day is not enough to cover all these topics thoroughly, but we think we'll be able to cover enough to make it clear how startups work. Many hackers consider starting a company at some point, but are put off because "business" seems a mystery. Our goal is to remove that mystery.
The event is free, but because more people may want to come than we have room for, we ask you to fill out a brief application form if you want to attend. The application deadline is noon on March 3, and we'll issue acceptances by March 7.
