I posted a domain-name site last week that @jonas, my cofounder from @monzo, built. The site earned $4200 over the weekend. The catch? It was all built by an AI agent.
Tom Blomfield & Surbhi Sarna, Group Partners at @ycombinator are coming to Robinson College Weds 1 May, 6pm They will share their founding stories, answer questions based on their experience and what they’ve seen from advising YC startups. Book a spot: events.ycombinator.com/yccambridge
Africans in YC W24 🇳🇬🇰🇪🇿🇲🇺🇸🇬🇧 Very grateful for the experience and opportunity to be in the presence of these champs. Excited to see them grow and their companies excel @ycombinator @naijasboy @domavwo @MazeDaMouth @SamAkinwunmi #KeepBuilding
I'm told there are over 3000 people on the waiting list for my talk on Tuesday, and the venue only holds 180. Since we don't want to disappoint anyone, I'm going to give another talk later this year at a bigger venue.
I tend to hear one of two rationales from solo founders: I cannot convince any of my smart, determined friends or former colleagues to join me on this endeavor. I am so superior to all my friends and former colleagues that teaming up with them would only slow me down.…
I’m trying to figure out why so many startups are focusing on sales automation at the moment. At big companies, there are thousands of tedious, manual processes that are performed over-and-over by huge teams of people paid close to minimum wage. But most young programmers never…
Today is the deadline to apply for Y Combinator. ycombinator.com/apply. 17 years ago, I was sitting with my co-founders Marie and Pelle (and later Michael) in our freezing New York apartment crafting our YC application. The first sentence of our application still makes sense…
I’ve had the honor of working with a lot of people whose startups got into YC and if you started on your application now you’d be like twelve hours earlier than several of them.

Applying to YC in 2011 changed the whole course of my life. You’ve still got a few hours to submit an application to the summer batch.

One of my favorite pics & moments from the YC W24 batch was @bosmeny helping me workshop my two sentence description before live pitch practice. If you're thinking about applying to @ycombinator, this is your sign to do it and see where it takes you.
