Startup Office Hours with Top 1% Y Combinator Founder (2x)
Most founders fail because they don't know what they don't know.
I'm opening up my calendar once a month to share everything I learned the hard way—from zero to raising millions, twice.
Come ask me anything about:
Getting Started:
Turning a half-baked idea into something investors actually want to fund
Finding co-founders who won't quit when things get hard
Getting into Y Combinator (and what actually matters in your application)
The Real Stuff:
Building products users are obsessed with (not just "like")
Raising your first $500K vs. your Series A—totally different games
The brutal decisions about hiring, firing, and pivoting that keep you up at night
How to know when to push through vs. when to pivot
Scaling Without Breaking:
Going from 5 people to 1000 without losing your culture
Managing cash flow when growth gets chaotic
The founder mental health stuff no one talks about publicly
About me: I'm a 2x YC founder. Built DrChrono (top 1% YC company, White House invited, scaled to millions of users). Now building JustPaid (AI-powered fintech). I've raised millions from top investors including Kleiner Perkins, Dropbox cofounder, YouTube founding team, and Y Combinator.
Format: Casual Q&A. No sales pitch. No BS. Just real answers to your real questions. Nothing is off limits.
Who should come: Pre-idea dreamers. Solo founders figuring it out. Teams ready to scale. Everyone in between.
The best questions get the most honest answers I've got.
See you there. 🚀
