Jason Fried
Jason Fried is an entrepreneur and business writer focused on company building, work culture, software product design, and calm productivity. He co-founded 37signals, makers of Basecamp and HEY, and coauthored Rework, Remote, and It Doesn’t Have to Be Crazy at Work, influential books on modern management and work practices.
経歴と著者の歩み
Jason Fried grew up in Chicago and studied finance at the University of Arizona, but his career took shape around design rather than banking. While still in school he freelanced on websites, then accepted a short-lived job as a creative director in San Diego before returning to Chicago and striking out on his own. In 1999 he helped start 37signals as a web-design firm. The decisive turn came when the company built an internal tool to manage its client work; released publicly as Basecamp in February 2004, it soon generated more revenue than consulting and allowed Fried to move from service work into software entrepreneurship full time.

Startup Fundamentals with Paul Graham
This course distills the core startup philosophy and practical frameworks developed by Paul Graham and Y Combinator. It covers the entire early-stage lifecycle: from 'noticing' organic ideas by living in the future, to building products that a small group of users love, and finally navigating the counterintuitive process of raising seed capital. The material emphasizes that startups succeed not through 'hacking the test' or marketing-speak, but through a relentless focus on truth, speed, and deep user understanding. Learners will explore why the best ideas often look like toys, how to seem 'formidable' to investors by being genuinely convinced of their own bet, and why doing things that don't scale is the optimal path to finding product-market fit.
