So welcome to CS183B.
好，欢迎大家来听创业课CS183B
I'm Sam Altman.
我是山姆·阿尔特曼
I'm the President of Y Combinator.
我是Y Combinator（YC美国风投公司）的总裁
Nine years ago, I was a Stanford student and then I dropped out to start a company.
九年前，我曾经是斯坦福大学的一名学生，但我辍学去开公司了
And then I've been an investor for the last few.
在此之后，我一直是一名投资人
So, at YC, we've been teaching people how to start startups for nine years.
这九年以来，在YC，我们的工作就是教大家如何去创业
Most of it's very hands on and specific to the startups.
这些经验是需要大家去实践的，而且只针对于创业来讲
But, 30% of it is pretty generally applicable.
不过其中的30%是具有普适性的
And so, we think that we can teach that 30% in this class.
我们就是要在课程中，给大家教授这30%的内容
And even though that's only 30% of the way there hopefully it'll still be really helpful.
虽然只有30%，对大家也会有所帮助
We've taught a lot of this at YC already,
我们在YC已经教过诸如此类的很多内容
but it's all been off the record.
不过之前的都是非公开的
And this is the first time that a lot of what we teach in YC is gonna be on the record.
YC这样公开地给大家授课还是第一次
So we've invited some of our best speakers to come and give the same talks they give at YC.
我们请到了最出色的一些演讲人，他们在这里讲的和在YC讲的是一样的
We've now funded 720 companies.
我们一共曾为720多家公司融资
And so, we're pretty sure that a lot of this advice is pretty good.
因此，我们相信告诉大家的内容，都是非常有用的
We can't fund every startup yet,
虽然不能给每个新公司提供资金
but we can hopefully make this advice very generally available.
还是希望每个人都能得到需要的信息和帮助
Guest speakers are gonna teach 17 of the 20 classes.
总共20次课，嘉宾演讲人要讲授17课
I'm only teaching three.
我自己给大家讲3次
Counting YC itself,
每位嘉宾演讲人
every guest speaker has been involved in the creation of a billion plus dollar company.
都曾经参与创办过价值超过十亿美金的公司，包括YC
So the advice shouldn't be that theoretical.
所以这些建议不会是纸上谈兵
It's all been, it's all from people who have done it.
这些建议都是来自于真正做过大事的人
All of the advice in this class is geared towards people starting a business
我们的课程面向的群体
where the goal was hyper-growth.
是寻求快速发展
And eventually building a very large company.
最后发展成超大规模公司的创业者
Much of it doesn't apply in other cases and
对于其他情况，不推荐听这些课程
I wanna warn people up front.
这些我先讲在前边
That if you try and do these things in a lot of big companies or non startups, it won't work.
如果大家把听到的内容应用在现存的大公司，而不是创业中，是行不通的
It should still be interesting.
当然，听一下总是有帮助的
I, I really do think that startups are the way of the future
我认为，创业是今后市场发展的大流方向
and it's worth trying to understand them.
所以了解一下是有好处的
But startups are very different than normal companies.
刚开办的公司跟一般公司很不同
So over the course of today and Thursday,
今天和周四的课程
I'm gonna try to give an overview of the four areas
我会给大家介绍四个方面
that you need to excel at in order to maximize your chances of success at a startup.
如果想要创业成功，这四个方面必须做得非常出色
And then throughout the course,
在整套课程中
the guest speakers are gonna drill into all of these in more detail.
嘉宾演讲人也会详细讲解这些方面
So the four areas, you need a great idea, a great product, a great team and great execution.
这四点分别是，好创意，好产品，好团队，好执行
These overlap somewhat,
当然，这四点可能彼此有重叠
but I'm gonna have to talk about them somewhat individually to make it make sense.
不过我还是分别来给大家介绍一下
