Make Something People Want is the motto of Y Combinator, the early stage startup accelerator that has supported the launch of ultra-successful companies such as Airbnb and Reddit. Build something— not that people need — but rather something they want and are willing to pay for, Y Combinator adds.
Ola Orekunrin Brown (Founder, Founder at Healthcap Africa) shares this immensely important reminder below, saying:
Y Combinator, a renowned leader in startup investing, operates by a guiding principle that resonates deeply.
This philosophy has undoubtedly contributed to their remarkable success in identifying and nurturing innovative ventures.
As we strive for excellence in our own endeavors, let’s draw inspiration from Y Combinator’s commitment to fostering growth and disruption.
