2 perspectives to approach failures and mistakes
- Failures are prototypes of experience: They are powerful reference point which can act as a tool for decision making and adjustment. They are a special kind of tacit knowledge that is difficult to transfer to another person by means of writing it down or verbalizing it.
- Hyper correction effect: This refers to the finding that high-confidence errors are more likely to be corrected after feedback than low-confidence errors. The more mistake you commit the better the chances of not committing similar mistakes.

Immigrants and Socio-economic status: Thread
When we talk about immigrants I really like to dig one more layer with things like;
- # Socio-economic status.
- # Familial socialism as a unit of observation.
- # Cultural background. Eg. Most Indian founders are higher caste,
- # Enormous familial scaffolding(kind of powerful Familial socialism),
- etc.
While US elites are romanticizing about Immigrants, they practically pay ero attention to their own future generations.
We need debates about Self made billionaires who comes from affluent backgrounds. Are they really self made ??

Y-Combinator Series A Guide for entrepreneurs
Over the last two years YC companies have raised 190 Series A’s and over $2B of capital.
From this process, YC accumulated information about every one of those rounds while working with founders all the way to the close.
They have previously published some of what they learned, like: Standard and Clean Series A Term Sheet, Process and Leverage in Fundraising, etc.
YC was also working on a comprehensive Series A Guide which they released recently. @ ycombinator.com/resources/series-a-guide.
This resource collects nearly everything they have learned about Series A’s over the period of existence.
It is designed to help founders tactically and strategically plan for fundraises.Link to the Guide
