There is a growing trend of former students starting biotech companies, which encourages others to explore similar entrepreneurial paths.

I worked as an engineer at Abbott Vascular and a smaller startup, but I felt an urge to start my own company at 24, driven by my past health experiences.

We discovered our shared interests in entrepreneurship and small businesses while working on a project together in business school.

I fell into entrepreneurship accidentally; I went to college to be a computer programmer, but after the dot-com bubble burst, startups weren't on anyone's mind.

After selling my company, I was invited to be the first healthcare and biotech partner at Y Combinator, where I could share my story and help other founders.

I started my first company out of my dorm room at Stanford, aiming to help students get jobs at banks and consulting firms, but it ultimately didn't work out because no one was using LinkedIn at the time.

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.

After quitting my job at Amazon, I moved to San Francisco where I found a co-founder and began working on various startup ideas without being picky about the market.

I believe starting a startup immediately after college was the right decision, as waiting could have led to developing bad habits and a lack of motivation.
