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.

We were initially hesitant to apply to Y Combinator, but an advisor encouraged us to go for it, leading to an unexpected interview and acceptance.

After being rejected twice, we decided to apply to Y Combinator again, this time with some validation from our pre-order revenues.

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

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

The real question should be why not apply to Y Combinator, rather than why we didn't do it sooner.

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.

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.
