At Y Combinator, I was inspired by the ambitious mindset of other founders, which contrasted sharply with the skepticism we faced before. It motivated me to fully commit to making Watsi a reality.

Before joining Y Combinator, we initially focused on helping students prepare for interviews through mock interviews, which highlighted the disconnect between resumes and actual skills.

I co-founded Y Combinator, the first startup accelerator, which began with a hypothesis about what people wanted, and it turned out they did want it, leading us to fund over 1,800 startups valued at over a hundred billion dollars.

After exiting Y Combinator, we achieved $200,000 in revenue within six weeks, and by the end of the year, we reached about $1 million, showcasing our rapid growth trajectory.

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.

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.

Y Combinator is a great starting point for companies looking to successfully launch, providing expertise and resources for incorporating and achieving product-market fit.

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.
