Believe it or not, my journey to Y Combinator started similar to how you may experience YC — through being a regular lurker and reader on Hacker News.

I went to Startup School, me and my cofounders applied, we got an interview, and we got in. I was an engineer, designer and PM. I'd built teams and products, but I'd never built a company.

YC gave me a shot, a community, knowhow, and the ability to access capital, talent, and customers.

YC changed my life. I want it to help a lot more people achieve their dreams and goals. It did for me, beyond my wildest dreams.

Just incredible to see you complete the circle here Garry.

I'll be really interested to see the perspective you bring, especially when it comes to the human side of the equation of founding a startup.

I remember for some time you were looking seriously at mental health for teams. Any early thoughts on how you might adjust the current sentiment of hustle culture?
