From Stripe to YC-Backed Founders: Come Chat, Eat, And Intern With Us

​Jason Sang (CS ‘23) and Paul Cento (SE ‘23) - were both founding engineers at a startup funded by OpenAI, Neo (Cursor, Ramp, Cognition, Notion), and Prod (Mercor, Etched, Mach Industries). As new graduates at Stripe, they managed 3 senior engineers each and won awards as the most productive members of their org. They’ve now started their own company to automate scientific discovery, rejecting YC and raising a $18M pressed, raising from a T1 seed fund and executives from Cohere and the 2 of the other largest AI labs.

​We’ll be providing food and drinks. Come chat with us 1-on-1 about career planning, life, how to found a startup, raising money, and the future of software engineering.

​Anyone who passes our challenge will get the chance to interview with our team + eat dinner with us.

​We are official event hosts with Waterloo Tech Week 2025, a celebration of what’s been built here, and what’s still to come. We’re building something great together. September 8-11, 2025. waterlootechweek.ca.
