About this archive

The Starter Story Archive is an independent, unofficial reading copy of Starter Story’s page on Rosetta: 143 founder-interview videos, each with a summary, transcript and the extras Rosetta derived from it.

It exists to make the material browsable and searchable as a body of work: filter by topic or year, find the exact minute a founder says something, and read instead of scrub.

What was collected

On October 22, 2026, each public article page on Rosetta was fetched once, and its structured parts were extracted: title, date, duration, views, summary, people and roles, key quotes with timestamps, FAQ, chapters and the full transcript. Topic membership comes from Rosetta’s topic pages. Nothing was written or corrected by hand.

Caveats

  • Transcripts are generated from YouTube’s auto-captions and contain errors, especially names and numbers. >> marks a change of speaker.
  • Summaries, quotes, FAQs and chapters were produced by Rosetta, not by Starter Story, and may be imperfect. People roles and topic labels come from Rosetta's entity data too; common names can be misidentified.
  • View counts are a snapshot from the collection date and are rounded in places.
  • All videos, titles and words belong to Starter Story and the people interviewed. This site hosts no video; playback loads from YouTube on request.
