Hello Elad. Thank you very much for being so open to sharing. Do you have any snippets or content about traction? To me, that seems to be the most difficult part about team-building and startups in general. I have a lot of brilliant friends with whom I have an easy time bouncing ideas around with. Every couple months, an idea will be fleshed out enough to justify starting to work on it, but it's the groundwork that translates to long term growth that I have the most difficulty with, assuming that the problem is worth solving, the product is "good", and the product-market fit is there. Of the people you interviewed, did someone provide any insight into that?
Unfortunately my book focuses on the stages right after that - i.e. you have traction and need to scale.
There are some good things written on this topic that you have probably seen - e.g. Paul Graham has some great posts on this as do Sam Altman, Michael Seibel and Aaron Harris.
On the non-YC side Peter Thiel's Zero to One, Marc Andreessen's archives (on the A16Z site) and Chris Dixon's pre-crypto writings are all great on this topic too....
