Last week at Y Combinator's�Startup School nearly a dozen of the Valley's most seasoned entrepreneurs and investors came together to give advice to hundreds of people looking to launch or get involved with a startup. One of the standout talks came from Dalton Caldwell, the founder of defunct music startup imeem who is now running his second company, picplz. If you've ever considered launching a music startup yourself, or wondered why so many seem to falter, it's really a must-watch. We've embedded a video of his full talk here, and he's also given us the slides so you can take your time reading through some of the data points he lists off. Caldwell kicks his talk with a brief explanation as to why he was there ?�after all, his startup imeem "blew up" earlier this year, so he didn't have a particularly inspirational success story to share. But he does know the music industry cold, and even though imeem may have ultimately had an unfortunate exit, at one point it was drawing 26 million uniques a month.
