Whatever your path, find it, make it yours. And you do this by focusing on the important things, focus on what matters, focus on what you've learned at
Startup School
. Stay connected with the
community
, use the updates, use the forum, talk to people. Most importantly as you've heard again and again, make something that people want, and as you do that, as you make something people want, measure it. Keep track of your progress, make sure you know where your value is added, hire incredible people, surround yourself with the best of the best and that will give you the best chance to build an epic company and don't give up. Focus on making a company that is healthy and happy and moving forward always.

Thanks largely to Paul, there's so much help. I hope that
YC
Startup School
has been transformational for you guys, for your companies, and for your
future
. I hope you've learned enough, focused enough, launched enough to make a difference, to make a difference that will put your
startup
on a path to success. That path will be different for everyone. When I finally gave up my job, gave up working for the man, and began to
search
for my
future
startup
, I came to build web-based
email
. Later, that was purchased by Yahoo and that's where I met PG and his co-founder, Trevor, at their company Viaweb. Before starting
YC
, Paul spent tons of
time
doing other things, he wrote, he painted before he found his next path. Trevor moved out to California, funded his own hardware
startup
to build
robots
