During Y Combinator, partners meet individually with startups to provide advice on their challenges.

At Y Combinator, we often help startups clean up their cap tables and convince previous investors that their current setup is detrimental to the company.

I have seen a lot of changes in the startup ecosystem, particularly in how financing is done, and Y Combinator has played a significant role in these changes.

My experiences have led me to become a group partner at Y Combinator, where I find joy in helping founders overcome challenges to bring their technologies to market.

Joining Y Combinator turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made, especially as we faced severe financial challenges before receiving their support. Starting and running a company as a founder can be a very lonely experience, where you often feel responsible for everyone's future and only you know the reality of the low times.

Investors in Y Combinator companies are top-tier VCs, frequently investing in these startups and often making multiple investments.

I love Y Combinator and New York for startups, which is why I'm here today.

Every startup is right for Y Combinator if they want help with their startup, regardless of their stage, whether just starting or needing to take it to the next level.

After Y Combinator, we struggled financially for about a year, living off savings and working out of a friend's living room, which was made possible by the generosity of his parents.
