Keynote: Paul Graham, YCombinator

Caption notes

At PyCon in 2012, Paul Graham asks what the first step might be for a startup idea that seems too big to tackle. He imagines starting with a search engine that programmers would use, as an example of turning a large ambition into a product useful to a small group right away. In closing, he suggests starting with something small that you know works and adjusting direction as opportunities arise. In the Q&A, he uses hardware for hobbyists as another example of a first product for a niche audience.
