Beyond YC Demo Day: The Real Challenges of Scaling to Growth

​Join Joey Aquino, Angel Investor and Venture Partner at Builders VC, for a deep dive into the realities of scaling startups beyond YC Demo Day. Joey, who spent the last decade at AWS and has a background in startups, will be leading a candid conversation with two distinguished YC alumni who have navigated the challenging path from Seed to Growth.

​Joey will be interviewing Nancy Xiao, President at Mason, who went through YC in the Winter 2016 batch. Mason successfully secured their Series A led by Coatue Management in 2019. Before Mason, Nancy honed her expertise during nearly a decade at Meta, contributing significantly to the company’s growth.

​Also on the panel is Omri Mor, the Founding CEO of Routable, a company that graduated from YC during the Summer 2017 batch. Omri led Routable through a successful Series B, which was spearheaded by Sam and Jack Altman. His insights into scaling a startup while maintaining company culture will provide invaluable lessons for founders in the audience.

​This conversation will explore the unfiltered realities of startup life post-YC, shedding light on the challenges, decisions, and strategies that these founders have faced on their journey to growth. If you’re a founder or aspiring entrepreneur, this is a must-attend session for gaining actionable insights and learning from the experiences of those who have successfully navigated the post-YC landscape.
