YC changed our lives. Speaking for myself, I had no idea how to do a start-up when we went through YC the first time around with Citus Data. YC has also been instrumental for Ubicloud, so wanted to give a shoutout.

I've been a huge fan of YC for over a decade. Paul Graham's essays alone are a treasure of information. In addition to being one of the best funds of all time, they are constantly creating great content for entrepreneurs. Our company used their free Safe note templates for pre-seed investors. I've consumed many YT videos and even more blog posts and tweets.
