☀️ YC Jobs IRL: Meet Brex, Pave, Pulley & more @ Park Lab Gardens (SF) on 6/16, 4PM
San Francisco is starting to warm up, and YC is looking to host our first in-person event (safely) in the Dogpatch. Grab a bite (on us), meet YC founders and find out about new startups hiring in the Bay Area.

Apply to join us, and come with an appetite and an interest in startups.

 

📺 Setbacks And The Startup Gut Punch
Dalton and Michael discuss the many setbacks startup founders can face over the lifetime of starting and running a business, and the best approaches to managing them.
