Y Combinator - Meet YC's Newest Group Partner

This Week at YC

May 30, 2023

📢 Tom Blomfield of GoCardless and Monzo is Our Newest Group Partner

To help you make a startup that matters, it helps to have people who have been in the idea maze â€” trying to get product-market fit, finding it, and holding on to it – to get you through that maze yourself. If you’ve been in there at all, you know how hard it is to even find product-market fit, let alone keep it.

We're proud to say our newest group partner is Tom Blomfield, who has been there not once but twice, and twice emerged with a billion-dollar company.
