Um,but there's a more colorful example that we share at the YC kickoff
在YC,我們講過一個更生動的例子
Um, Paul Gram started using this, and I've kept it going.
保羅格拉姆這么說過,我借過來用
Um, so you're looking for co-founders that need to be unflappable, tough.
所以你尋找的合伙人是鎮(zhèn)定且堅強的人
They know what to do in every situation.
他們知道在每種情況下做什么
They act quickly. They're decisive. They're creative.
他們反應(yīng)迅速,他們果斷堅定,他們創(chuàng)意非凡
They're ready for anything.
他們時刻準(zhǔn)備著
Um,and it turns out that there's a model for this in,in pop culture
在流行文化中,有一個很好的例子
And it sounds really dumb, but it's at least very memorable.
聽起來令人無語,但卻令人難忘
And we've told every class of YC this for a long time, and I think it helps them.
長時間以來,我們在YC的課堂上都講過,我覺得挺有用的
Um, and that model is James Bond.
這個例子就是詹姆斯·邦德

Um, and again it sounds crazy but it, it, uh, it will at least stick in your memory and,
聽起來有點瘋狂,但至少可以讓你牢牢記住
and you need someone that behaves like James Bond more than you need someone that is you know an expert in some particular domain
比起某個領(lǐng)域的專家,你更需要一個詹姆斯·邦德那樣的人
As I mentioned earlier, you really want to know your co-founders for a while, ideally years.
正如我之前提到的,你的合伙人必須是你認(rèn)識了一段時間的人,最好是許多年
This is true for early hires as well.
對早期雇傭的人也適用
But incidentally, more people get this right for early hires, than they do for co-founders.
不經(jīng)意間很多創(chuàng)業(yè)者在早期雇傭人時這么做了,在選擇合伙人卻沒有做到
Uh, so again, take advantage of school.
再次強調(diào),利用在校的時間
Um, in addition to relentlessly resourceful, you want a tough and a calm co-founder.
除了敏思篤行之外,你還需要一個堅強冷靜的合伙人
Uh, there are all the obvious things like smart.
有許多明顯的特征需要考慮,如聰明
But everyone knows that you want a smart co-founder.
但每個人都知道你想要一個聰明的合伙人
Uh, most people don't prioritize tough and calm well enough.
大多數(shù)人并不優(yōu)先考慮堅強和冷靜這兩種品質(zhì)
Especially if you feel like you yourself aren't, you need a co-founder who is.
尤其是如果你覺得你自己并不是這樣的人,你就需要這樣一個合伙人
Um, if you're not technical, and hopefully most people in this room are,
如果你不是專業(yè)人士,希望教室里的大部分人是
you really want a technical co-founder.
你就真地需要一個專業(yè)的合伙人
There's this weird thing going on in start ups right now where it's become popular to say, like you know what?
創(chuàng)業(yè)中有一件很奇怪的事,那就是,人們喜歡說,你們知道嗎
We don't need technical founders, we're gonna hire people,
我們不需要專業(yè)合伙人,我們將雇傭?qū)I(yè)技術(shù)人員
We're just gonna be great managers.
我們只要成為了不起經(jīng)理人就可以了
Um, that doesn't work too well, in our experience.
以我們的經(jīng)驗看來,這并不奏效
In a software, people really should be starting software companies.
搞軟件的人就應(yīng)該創(chuàng)建軟件公司
Media people should be starting media companies.
媒體人士應(yīng)該創(chuàng)建媒體公司
Um, so and in the YC experience, two or three co-founders seems to be about perfect.
因此,以YC的經(jīng)驗來看,兩個或三個合伙人是最完美的
Um, one obviously not great, five really bad, four works sometimes,
單打獨斗顯然不好,五個人也不行,四個人有時候可以
but uh, two or three I think is what to target.
但我認(rèn)為兩個或三個最佳
