Some of it's a rabbit hole: the same names keep resurfacing across batches. Kyle Vogt (Twitch Cruise), Justin Kan, and Parker Conrad have each done YC more than once, and 160+ founders here ... ... from vmonome(@taskrelayhq): This is a fun rabbit hole the repeat-founder pattern (Vogt, Kan, Conrad) is the interesting part, way more than the leaderboard itself. Would love to see it sliced by 'founders who've had one exit vs

... user___1702026e6f946759d1d798a): This is also one of the first things investors look for. A polished demo can attract attention, but if someone cannot quickly understand who has the problem, how painful it is, and why the current alternatives are inadequate, the conversation hits a dead end. Based on my own experience and a friend who works at 1752vc, the strongest pitches often make the problem feel inevitable before they spend much time explaining the product. Comment from Martin Tanner ... ... that's a very important distinction. That could also explain why you're attracting more men, who are looking for a real solution vs

... actual insight, and it's bigger than it looks: making the notification say why it's waiting is what turns a ping into a triage. "Done" makes you tab back to find out what "done" means. "Needs approval vs finished vs

... take care of her. At that age I did not understand much about what was happening, I just knew I needed to help. I gave medicine, asked for help, called an ambulance, and did what I could. My older brothers were far away working, and I was there with her. That period marked me a lot. When I was around 15, I got my first phone. It was a simple phone, but I got fascinated. I was very curious, really ...

... From learning about Stripe s latest updates (we use it for our billing) to connecting with other founders, this event was a perfect mix of learning and building. Stripe s story is super inspirational. Founded by two young Irish brothers, originally called /dev/payments, it focused on payments for developers. Proof that simplicity wins when you re solving a real pain point (regardless of your company name!) My article is an honest review of the event and what we experienced with ...

... enough women content creators who she resonates with more. Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @konrad_sx  "High female representation in business ownership"  we should promote such an approach more. Instead of promoting Tate's brothers. Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @nithya_kumaran  I should create more to become one. Good nudge, thank you! :D Comment from Nika(@busmark_w_nika): @dipti_nair   I think that the main point is... we live in a patriarchal ...

... from Roy Peraza(@stargear356): It is not easy to meet the right co-founder. Just being realistic for you. I got lucky that I've known mine for years because we went to college together and we're basically brothers at this point. He has strengths where I lack some of his technical ability and vice versa. But from studying this subject it is not easy meeting one online. I would try searching for either portfolios or some kind ...

... slow? Were there any specific features mentioned (like brand import, web search, image editing, Figma/Mailchimp integration) that felt confusing or unclear? Any general suggestions on how we could make the message clearer? We're a tiny team (just two brothers!) and have been deep in development, so fresh eyes are invaluable right now. Thanks so much in advance for taking a minute to look really appreciate any feedback you can offer! See you Wednesday for the launch! Adam Comment from ...

... same thing. Every year that I came back to Europe the culture felt more stagnant, more pessimistic, and more normie. Of course there was great things about Europe for me pulling me back: my parents and brothers live here, and when I ended up in Portugal during COVID, I loved the nature, the clean air and the laid-back coastal surf village life and ended up moving here. And that brought me to an interesting point: seeing where the rest ... ... chance for a decent living. Do we really need to replicate that, or rather should find a new model? As for general deregulation, we should be very careful, as it can be used by mentioned monopolies to block new competitors

... important it is to them. Noticed that every game developer was seeking an almost identical position. I also saw a sports bar chain was looking for someone to create an esports solution - awesome discovery - one of my fraternity brothers is the bar manager. Started hosting Mario Kart night at sports bars, similar to trivia night, on slow nights to drive traffic. Two events per week increased revenue by an average of $8,000 a month .
