The second day of TechCrunch Disrupt NYC just kicked off with a bang as Y Combinator cofounder Paul Graham sat down with world-renowned interviewer and journalist Charlie Rose. The topic of conversation: what is Paul Graham looking for when it comes to identifying the people who are most likely to succeed?Graham says that when people come to him and say they've got a great idea, his first response is, "Tell me about your cofounders". In general the idea is less important, though he says that if it's a really terrible idea that might reflect poorly on the founders, and a really great idea might lift them up."There are some people who just get what they want in the world. If you want to start a startup you have to be one of those people. You can't be passive and wishy-washy," Graham says.
