    ПЛАН ОБУЧЕНИЯ

    Mastering Startup Idea Evaluation

    This learning plan provides a comprehensive framework for identifying, validating, and pitching startup ideas, grounded in the philosophies of Paul Graham and Y Combinator. It moves from the internal mindset of 'living in the future' to the tactical execution of finding 'hair on fire' problems and navigating the complex world of early-stage fundraising. Learners will explore why organic ideas—those born from personal pain—consistently outperform 'made-up' concepts, and how to apply the 'Urgency-Depth' graph to measure market potential. The plan also covers the critical transition from idea to product, emphasizing the importance of talking to users and doing things that don't scale, such as the door-to-door approach used by Airbnb. Finally, it provides a strategic map for fundraising, teaching founders how to manage investor psychology, avoid common pitfalls like 'valuation sensitivity,' and maintain momentum by accepting offers greedily.
