I hate that the startup world puts investors on a pedestal. As a startup founder, it distracted me from serving my users. As an investor, it distracts my companies from serving their users. Investors aren’t the heroes of the startup world.
W24 Thread:
Yesterday we wrapped up the W24 batch. We did a lot of things for the first time this batch. Here were the high points for me ...
YC Startup School East in Boston on April 20 - deadline to sign up is April 12 - apply to attend here: events.ycombinator.com/suseast24
People choosing not to have kids because they think the world sucks should cause the population to evolve to be more cheery and optimistic. Just wait 100 generations or so and the whinging should stop.
Huge day for @Kalshi - they are building the best prediction market in the world and now have market maker in SIG that will take them to the next level.

People are going a little nuts on this thing. Time for a Twitter cool off.
Extracting significant value (in non ZIRP times) from your startup requires more than building a company that startup investors are willing to fund. It requires building a company that either public market investors are willing to invest in (IPO) or that a public company is…
Impressive! @boomaero
Thinking about what to cook for the 150 YC w24 Group 2 founders next week…. we are talking about fundraising. Any ideas? (Crockpot recipes only)
Putting out good vibes this morning. Coffee, news, getting the kids ready for school - start of a good day 👍🏽
Just because someone asks you for something that doesn’t mean you have to do it. This applies to friends, family, your investors, your work colleagues, your boss, your employees, your customers, etc.

@mwseibel Criteria: can’t have tweeted more than 10 times in the last 20 days to show focus.
It takes a lot of introspection to attune to the sensation of progress, rather than the sensation of reward.
Just getting back to the office, I've been pulling 16 hr days this week/weekend. This week should be exciting....
People choosing not to have kids because they think the world sucks should cause the population to evolve to be more cheery and optimistic. Just wait 100 generations or so and the whinging should stop.
So many of those that shouted “we are fully remote” during the pandemic hiring arms race have quietly moved away from that policy, and this reversion to the prior norm seems to be accelerating with little fanfare.
Over the past few years I've been practicing the subtle art of Staying Out of It. On any given day, there are dozens of discussions I could be part of. A deluge of decisions I could weigh in on. An overmuch of opinion on which I could opine. But I'm choosing to Stay Out of It.…
20 years. No joke :)
I’m pleased to share I’m joining @Boeing as the next CEO.
There’s a lot of great stuff on Twitter, but I increasingly notice it mostly just makes me sad about the state of our civilization and politics. It feels like we’re watching western civilization’s arteries harden in real time.
Jeff Bezos on how to deal with stress.
Many of the best startups ran their company out of the founders' house for a curiously long time - often until they had 10+ employees. This is Replit when they were working out of @amasad's house.
@garrytan @mwseibel @ycombinator Just FYI that I was about to apply and saw this typo. "introducting". Figured I'd call it out to get it updated.
12 years ago today I had the privilege of legally becoming Emma’s mom. She entered foster care at age 3 and was adopted into our family just before her 7th birthday. Today she’s almost 19 years old and is a freshman in college. She’s one of my favorite humans and every year I…
Going through the latest YC batch companies you can instantly see how much opportunity there is with AI. This feels like over a decade ago again when there were endless wide open markets that software startups could chase after.
@mwseibel Congratulations Michael for everything you've built in the past 8yr. YC is at a whole other level today. Excited for your next 10👏
I’ll never forget the walk around Pioneer Way I did with Michael in 2013 when we were getting acquired. A decade later, and I’m pumped I get to keep learning from him.

I am truly thankful for @mwseibel's advice and friendship, and for being a stalwart mega-pillar of Y Combinator all these years — and into the future. 🫡
"His upbeat demeanor and canny knowledge of the inside game of growing a company has benefited hundreds of startups." (And luckily for founders, @mwseibel will share that knowledge at @ycombinator for the next 10+ years.) wired.com/story/plaintex…
