Got my "congratulations for coming aboard!" CTO meeting.
Set up a meeting to work with another startup under my "umbrella of startups working on modular code that benefits multiple startups" model (a technical co-founder so I don't have to do all the coding work, and a recent boot camp grad - never too soon to start!).
Finally signed up for Y Combinator's free Startup School (gib vouchers blz). PG's initial post on ideation is amazing.

Enjoy at your own peril. See if you dare link the Tome Of Darkness to your mortal soul.
