If you listen to it you'll see it's still pretty accurate


How to Raise a Seed Round is the first under featured. I shared the link to the whole audio library so you can find a bunch more articles too. I'm the founder of the startup that Atrium uses to create the audio blogs, the Audiohub is our repository with content from all our customers.


This is awesome! I'm Helena Ronis, co-founder and CEO of VoxSnap, the startup that did the audio & player embedded in the post. Feel free to share your feedback with us about the player or audio.


Hi Helana! Really beautiful player, the embedded player looks like it belongs on the page. As a founder, would love to hear your feedback on what you think of Sam Altman's Playbook!


Thanks! I appreciate it. Super happy that you like the player.

As a founder I think the Playbook is mostly on point, I'm curious to see what Sam adds or removes in the re-write. Startups are hard and it takes a lot of persistence and hustle to move the needle in a meaningful way. I love the part in the Intro section "A word of warning about choosing to start a startup: It sucks! One of the most consistent pieces of feedback we get from YC founders is it’s harder than they could have ever imagined, because they didn’t have a framework for the sort of work and intensity a startup entails." Then the follow up line is great "On the other hand, starting a startup is not in fact very risky to your career—if you’re really good at technology, there will be job opportunities if you fail. I personally think the riskier option is having an idea or project you’re really passionate about and working at a safe, easy, unfulfilling job instead." - I totally agree with that, if you have an entrepreneurial character you'll forever regret not taking the chance.
