Hi Product Hunt! I’m Cat, an engineer on Startup School. We’re super excited to announce our new Future Founders course! It begins today (November 9) and lasts for 6 weeks. We have great curriculum lined up, and a video call every Tuesday that consists of an AMA with a YC partner as well as breakout sessions for folks to meet each other. 

If you’ve ever thought, “I’d like to start a company someday,” come check it out! Our team is here to answer any questions and we’d love to hear your feedback.

@catheryn Hi Catheryn! I have access to Startup School Curriculum, but is it the same Future Founders course? Because I had access before November 9

Startup School was an incredible value for us at Waydev and their initiative is amazing!

@alex_circei Thanks for the kind words Alex. We're happy to hear that SUS helped move your company forward.

Congrats on the launch @catheryn! I've been following startup school since it's inception: such a great way to get knowledge about growing a startup, and extremely valuable for everyone, even those of us in the process! In addition, it's easy to use and follow. Looking forward to more content from this team!

@catheryn @bishalsaha If you're already in Startup School, but think the future founder course would be a better fit for you, you can certainly join! Go to 'my profile' in your Startup School dashboard, and then click on 'choose a track'.

@catheryn @bishalsaha @theriodegennaro The future founder track is better for folks who are not actively working on a company right now. If you are working on a startup idea right now, and the deals are a good resource, then you're probably better suited for the active founder track in Startup School.

The timing of this launch can't be this perfect! I'm working on Shoutout(shoutout.so) and recently found a technical co-founder. One of my dreams is to get into YC! With Startup School, we will get a chance to learn and execute things in a faster way and hopefully get into YC next year! Congrats and thanks for spreading abundance and knowledge to the world!

@5harath That's awesome to hear! If you're actively working on a company, I suggest you and your co-founder go through the Active Founder track (instead of the Future Founder track) on Startup school!
Sharath Kuruganty
@5harath @catheryn I just figured that while onboarding :) Nevertheless I'm pumped to be part of the program and learn from the best!

Startup School is the best online resource I've ever found. I still can't believe it exists. It's a bunch of super smart, super successful founders who have seen thousands of companies go through YC, giving you the blueprint to build a company in a clear and concise format. It's an insane democratization of knowledge. I wish very much that I had discovered it before I had already made lots of the mistakes they warn about on my first product 😛

I've done this 2 times, so I would go for it again, mostly for the networking and the vibe around YC SC. Love it!

@teodeleanu That's awesome! If you are actively working on a startup, I would recommend the Active Founder track within our continuous program :)

I did Startup School at the beginning of the year and this is great. Great content and the platform has been improved a lot. Really smart move to get founders where they are :-) Bravo ?makers
Petr Němec
Nice project.
Dragos Bulugean
Startup School is amazing. We went twice and it helped us a lot, with both knowledge and credits for some popular services. Totally recommended!
Irfan Tariq
Excellent content.
Max Moya
It's a great tool for anyone that desires to learn do something the people want and make it globally by digital technology
David Albers
Would have loved this a few years back in undergrad, glad to see it coming out now!

✔︎ This is all totally free, BTW. You just sign up and you can access all the content.

It's just a must-have for every maker, entrepreneur, founder like a YC Library materials.

Startup School and the 4-week sprint we did really helped our team emphasize building fast and being deliberate. Going to assume this champions those same principles :)
George Johal
Fantastic concept!
Lex Trukhin
@catheryn Good news. But I didn't get what's the main difference between this one and your basic course. I see that there is the same curriculum content, no? :)
Roman Pennell
This is awesome! I have been looking for a course for early founders and this checks the box!
