Spoke to the STRIVE Business and Engineering Club tonight.
They are purposefully a small group where members take an active role in deciding what to learn and who to hear from.
It was a general “tell your entrepreneurship story” session over Zoom. Encouraged them to try things, start side businesses and projects.
I was surprised that none of them had heard of Y Combinator.
I told them all to get on Twitter. And I think somewhere in there I may have agreed to create a TikTok account.
None of them had ever bought a domain name — suggested that they have someone in the group research on how to do that and present it to everyone else. With ~30 group members, that’s a lot of combined research and learning!
Recommended Tumblr https://tumblr.com as well for sharing / clipping links and notes. You can still map your own domain name for free.
A few things I mentioned:
- Lean Startup and the “Build Measure Learn” loop and in general some of the topics from the Startup page
- Pirate Metrics
- Debating which presentation to send them, maybe Presentation: What Investors Want and/or Presentation - How to Build a Business
