Startup Knowledgebase

An Obsidian-based knowledge system for collecting startup advice, YC notes, and repeat lessons I want to keep using.

I started building this because a lot of the best startup advice is scattered all over the internet.

What I wanted to do was take YC essays, Paul Graham essays, startup requests, and other strong startup content, put it into an Obsidian knowledge base, and then build an agent on top of it.

That way, when I have a question about how to approach a startup problem, I have a place to go for advice:

  • what should I build?
  • what patterns keep showing up?
  • what mistakes do founders repeat?
  • what advice is timeless and what advice is context-specific?

It is basically a way to make startup advice more searchable and usable when I actually need it.

What is inside it

  • YC essays and learnings
  • Paul Graham essays
  • startup requests and prompts
  • decision frameworks
  • project notes

Why it matters

I like building tools that help me think better, and this is one of the clearest examples of that.
