Hacker News is how I first heard about Y Combinator in 2007. I applied in 2008 and got in. I became a founder. It changed my life. I learned a lot and got to build software for a lot of people.
I later became a partner and saw how powerful it was in society: people from all walks of life and now all over the world coming to create startups that a billion people can use.
That’s pretty cool, for signing on to a website that is basically the same product that it was when I came onto it 12 years ago.
In a lot of ways, my life is devoted trying to help you get to do what I got to do (and hopefully more, because my startup didn’t quite make it).
