Y Combinator consistently manages to take smart hackers and turn them into successful startup founders. What lessons can we all learn from the Y Combinator approach to startups? And what exactly does Y Combinator do? We'll talk about the Y Combinator experience, the YC take on startups, and about the moderator's experience with his YC-backed startup (Zencoder).
In this talk, Kevin (CEO Burbn, inc.) will explore the history of Instagram; how it started, how it evolved, and the big decisions we made along the way to change course and bet big on photos and a native iPhone app.
