Hey friends! It’s been a busy few days in the land of YC videos, so we’ve got two new ones for you this time: one episode of Dalton & Michael, and one episode of Design Review. Both are absolutely packed with insights, so be sure to check them out below.

While you’re here: if you’re a super clever person thinking about building something in the healthcare/bio space — or if you know someone who fits that description — you should know about our Health and Bio Summit coming up on December 6th. It’s a half-day conference where we bring together a room full of healthcare and bio founders/investors for an afternoon of talks, advice, and learning from each other. It’s free, but space is limited — so be sure to apply here.

How to NOT get screwed over as a software engineer

The stories are true: technical founders (and early technical employees!) often end up with the short end of the stick when starting a company.

In this episode of Dalton & Michael, the pair discuss the questions/best practices that an aspiring founder (who happens to be technical) should think about to keep that from happening.

How to convert more visitors into customers

Getting people to visit your startup’s website is just step one. Getting them to actually sign up, buy something, or even just care to learn more is a whole different challenge — and it’s one where good design is crucial.

For this episode of Design Review, Aaron Epstein is joined by YC’s newest Group Partner, Pete Koomen, to cover some of the seemingly small things in a design that can ultimately have huge impacts.
