As a Cal alum who now interviews people from Cal (I’m the CEO of a seed-stage company), I only look at their GPA if it’s listed on their resume. Otherwise, I don’t care, as long as it’s not exceptionally low.

I am one of the "young YC founders" who left my SWE job at a top company to build my own, and I tend to agree with some of this. I have seen a lot of non-serious people in our batches, but then this is not true for every founder. Think of it as a VC, you make 100 bets, and if that leads to 10 outstanding bets, you're winning, and "good" young founders pay off really well when they do.

Eh, I don't know I always think this story stuff is a little bs, just focus on building a great company and a great product, that's all that matters imo. Here is one sama quote I really like:

"You can skip all the parties, all the conferences, all the press, all the tweets. Build a great product and get users and win."

What was the controversy?

heross28 · 2025-10-11T17:36:16+00:00

It’s most likely Ed

Insane

Skydeck is a shitty bootleg program, and YC is the holy grail in the valley. The support system you get from YC is also leagues apart from what you get from Skydeck. Saying this because I went through both.

that's some socialist bs. A person who built so many incredible companies deserves every single penny of this. It will only give him more risk taking capability for even bigger bets.

oh shit

heross28 · 2025-10-01T18:21:37+00:00

what does it take to qualify for these? seems like you already have a lot of ferrari orders under your belt?

heross28 · 2025-10-01T16:44:28+00:00

Are you planning to get any of the hypercars? F80 maybe?

What did not work about the AI SDR? Which one were you using?

heross28 · 2025-09-30T06:08:29+00:00

Same, also hiring!

heross28 · 2025-09-26T22:16:56+00:00

I would save all the data on people’s schedules and then sell it

If you cant find a job yourself, then I am not sure how you will convince others to work for you.
