Paul Graham colloquium. Flyer for Paul Graham ’86: How to Turn Yourself into a Startup Founder
If you want to start a startup one day, what should you do now? What skills should you learn? How do you get an idea? Where do you find cofounders? And importantly, what is the value of a university education today? The good news is, you’re in the perfect place right now to get all these things.

Join us for a colloquium from distinguished visitor Paul Graham ’86, founder of Y Combinator, programmer, and writer. The Q&A portion of the event will be moderated by Provost Kavita Bala. Attendees will have the opportunity to present a question for consideration during the registration process.

There will be no recording or live stream option. Doors open at 4 p.m., and the event begins at 4:30 p.m. Registration and Cornell ID cards are required for entry.

This event is sponsored by the College of Arts and Sciences, Cornell Bowers, Cornell Duffield of Engineering.
