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.

After being encouraged by founders like Drew Houston and Sam Altman, I applied to Y Combinator, despite my initial hesitation about giving up equity.

I left Google in September 2022 to join Y Combinator, where I could work closely with founders and help them avoid the mistakes I made in my own journey.

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.

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.

Biotech companies benefit from Y Combinator through access to capital, fundraising expertise, and interaction with diverse sectors, which can lead to unexpected advantages.

When I applied to Y Combinator, I didn't have high hopes, but I believed in my idea and was invited for an interview, which was a turning point for me.

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

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.
