Description

About Y Combinator Startup School

This is the long awaited 2017 update of Y-Combinator’s Startup School (formerly called Startup Class), which features some of Silicon Valley’s most successful entrepreneurs, including many 8-9 figure millionaires and even a couple of billionaires. For anybody who doesn’t know, Y-Combinator is probably the world’s most successful incubator/accelerator and as of 2017, has invested in over 1,450 companies including Dropbox, Airbnb, Coinbase, Stripe, Reddit, Zenefits, BuildZoom, Instacart, Twitch.tv, Machine Zone, Weebly, Paribus, and Chinese startup Raven Tech. The combined market capitalization of YC companies was over $80B. So you can imagine that the content is gold, as these guys built startup unicorns from scratch and learned a ton along the way.

Business online course

Information about business:

Business is the activity of making one’s living or making money by producing or buying and selling products (such as goods and services).
[need quotation to verify] Simply put, it is “any activity or enterprise entered into for profit.
It does not mean it is a company, a corporation, partnership, or have any such formal organization, but it can range from a street peddler to General Motors.”

Having a business name does not separate the business entity from the owner, which means that the owner of the business is responsible and liable for debts incurred by the business.
If the business acquires debts, the creditors can go after the owner’s personal possessions.
A business structure does not allow for corporate tax rates. The proprietor is personally taxed on all income from the business.
