Today we tried something new at TechCrunch Disrupt: a special, on-stage office hour with Y Combinator cofounder Paul Graham. The goal was to reproduce the sessions that Graham and other YC partners hold with each of the startups who participate in Y Combinator�?�except the startups at Disrupt were getting sage advice in front of a few thousand people. And boy, was it awesome. Six companies were chosen at random from the TechCrunch Disrupt Startup Battlefield. Then, for six sessions of less than ten minutes each, Graham spoke with each startup founder to flesh out their idea, asking probing questions as he tried to figure out what they were setting out to do, and what they might need to change. Graham has a knack for being insightful and critical on his feet, and he doesn't require much background information to hone in on some of the pain points and weaknesses in a startup's idea (it's a skill that likely comes from practice, as he's held office hours with hundreds of YC companies).
