The Y Combinator experience was invaluable; the community of motivated individuals and guidance from partners like Paul Graham helped us stay on course and saved us years of effort.

We were accepted into Y Combinator, which was a significant milestone for us and changed the course of our company.

After winning the competition, I received an email from Paul Graham inviting me to meet, which was a pivotal moment for us.

Getting into Y Combinator was a turning point for us, as it validated our idea and pushed us to fully commit to the startup.

After graduating from college, I struggled to find my path, working various jobs until I met Paul Graham, which led to our partnership in founding Y Combinator.

I found Y Combinator because I was on Reddit during graduate school, where I discovered Paul Graham's essays that inspired me to pursue starting a company, despite the prevailing belief that the web was over after the dot-com crash.
