I generally wouldn't post about stuff like this but YC reach is genuinely insane. we had to switch to our personal calendars because we hit calendar rate limits on our google business accounts

Embedder (@embedderdev) is building the Cursor for embedded: upload data sheets, chat with agents, and generate production-level driver code in seconds. Congrats on the launch, @ethanmgibbs and @imbobwei! ycombinator.com/launches/Ny4-e…

since when did ppl start using calling their customers "design parters" when they only have 1 or 2 💀
you know the world is cooked when you get AI GTM linkedin messages for ur AI GTM product


if ur a dev tired of messing around in instantly - this is a huge unlock
After the last few months of building in public, I'm thrilled to share that AgentMail will officially be a part of the YC Summer 25 batch! I've been making a record of a few learnings that I wanted to attach here. Startups are all circumstantial, so please don't take this as…
day 5 of milking the YC brand on twitter > coding for two hours and then trying to socialize is impossible, i need a cooldown period - or just alcohol lol > openai founder greg brockman gave a fire speech 🔥 i clapped like he was the pope > more motivated than ever


sometimes if a vc scout is really attractive i'll agree to a chat - he’ll usually end up taking me to coffee or smth
everyone keeps saying our landing page is sexy and i tots agree. guess the design major came in handy 😜 the veo3 watermark is still at the bottom left tho😭

one on one conversations are high risk but high reward - when it clicks, it’s insane - but it can get awkward and boring real fast group convos are safer - nobody gets too deep, nobody gets too weird - just a guaranteed 6/10 time
day 4 of acting like ik what i'm doing > liquor helped me hold conversation > partner talks r very inspiring > time to lock in gangy



i love when ppl say ‘let’s punt it’ in corporate like u could have smth that actually needs to get done but say ‘let’s punt it’ and everyone’s just like yeah sounds good 💀 like yeah for sure chris let’s punt it u lazy fuck
one time told a vc i was doing guerilla marketing and they whispered “your crackedjesty” in my ear and venmoed me a $100k SAFE
day 3 of acting like ik wtf i'm doing > YC partner dinner > everyone says yc is about the people but i've been getting tired fast in most conversations > not sure if that means i’m introverted or just haven’t met the right people yet
