2. Build a web service to solve a problem you have

3. What constitutes a minimum viable

6. Does any one care?

7. –Kavi Guppta, writer @Forbes
“Success is largely a habit of doing things over
and over again until luck and preparation meet
to create something phenomenal. It’s small
experiments marching toward a larger solution.”

8. Oh, yes!
Lots of people care… your story is important.

9. –Paul Graham, co-founder, Y Combinator, startup incubator
behind Dropbox, Airbnb, Stripe, Reddit and many others.
“We're doing the same thing for female
founders. If these founders go on to succeed,
they'll become what we know from experience
will be the most powerful force for encouraging
other female founders: examples of people like
them who've done it.”
