Writes software, dreams.
In 2008 I showed up to Y Combinator Startup School to take photos of speakers and learn how to start a startup.
I was an engineer and designer and had never started a company before.
Today I am the new President & CEO of Y Combinator, an organization that is a true magnet for smart ambitious high integrity people who believe technology can solve the problems facing humanity.
And those that believe are those that do.
Looking forward to an epic 2023. 🙏

Communist asset forfeiture, harrowing refugee journey, starting over from nothing, access to education, and rebirth.
This is an American story, of resilience and struggle.
