- I’ve been ever concerned about understanding tech, but in the future, tech should understand me
- yc meeting
- how important do you think central is
- saptarshi
- central is very important, there is a lot of disparity between the skills that people have and the potential education available
- not as many people learn from advanced workshops, but basic workshops happen too often
- doesn’t know how successful it will be
- people are using eventbrite because the incentive is to stay on a platform they are using
- centrals advantages to eventbrite
- auto sign up
- the bridge between an attendee and organizer
- people don’t have a clear path to learn on what they have already learned
- advanced workshops
- sparsh
- going forward, it will make things more interesting, educationally, incentivizes
- concerned about virtual currency
- doesn’t know what will happen success wise, eventbrite will be an issue
- central will be very good once its scaled
- shaaf
- has potential to connect youth to the tech world
- doesn’t understand that it is for EVERYONE
- also concerned about virtual currency
- not worried about conveying amount of features or purpose
- lokesh
- concerned with user traction
- recognizes that we need to have critical mass to begin, but that may be hard
- idea/premise is really good
- maintanence
- who is going to make sure central is going to be running well
- long term
- priyank
- marketing gonna be hard
- need enough people using it
- doesn’t see why orgs wouldn’t use it. YC posts events on as many platforms as possible, so doesn’t think that eventbrite will be that big of an issue
- eventbrite and central may be able to coexist
- heet
- dhruv
- we can track a path of learning in the user
- events arent really that good to learn
- premise of central
- make internal tools to figure out how much they learned at a workshop
- how to we explain central to people????
- as long as we can explain central to people, and get enough events, it will be useful and successful
- what is the importance of YC and why
- saptarshi
- audience is different (we get most youth)
- nothing is really different in events
- will be different after central
- sparsh
- interested in internal impact of YC
- shaaf
- wants to inspire youth
- interaction and vibe between youth and youth is nice
- lokesh
- students for students is essential
- adults don’t know what youth want
- priyank
- inspiration is important
- inspired even before he was in YC
- learning more should happen at home
- advanced workshops is good
- heet
- yc is most inspiring
- after joining yc, he was connected to the tech world
- dhruv
- loved yc when they first started
- community NEEDED this
- started a trend where other people started doing these things
- projects team takes a whole different approach to YC
- lot that can and will be improved
- potential struggles for future (shaaf sparsh)
- knowledge of tech as a whole
- teaching/training new recruits
- not confident in their ability to continue current progress
- believe that leadership comes naturally
- believe that it all comes down to commitment
- more commitment when we graduate
- sparsh is excited to learn in the future
- shaaf likes the sense of fulfillment that it brings
- sporadic productivity is an issue amongst everyone—there is less to be excited about
- key takeaways
- most think of YC AS a personal project, not something separate holding them back from what they want to do
- everyone loves internal impact
- as long as we can explain central to people, and get enough events, it will be useful and successful
- main role of YC is to inspire
- definite struggles in the future, but believe commitment is key
