Until last year, I kept my mouth shut and just focused on building. But then I kept noticing a clear pattern that was too hard to ignore. It didn’t matter how talented builder you are or how much grit you have, it mattered way more what brand names you had. I then started speaking out and I keep getting messages like this from so many people.
Keep rejecting real builders like me, keep funding kids with brand names who don’t know how to do laundry and more and more people like me will stop applying. Sooner or later, we will build the next YC, a place where you are not judged by which school you went to and which company you worked at, but by how much real grit, perseverance, and inner motivation you have.

If you’re poor, it makes sense to buy a suit and pretend you have money. If youre rich, it makes sense to hide your wealth and look like an everyday guy. “When youre strong, appear weak. When youre weak, appear strong.” -Sun Tzu There’s 0 advantage to being accurately judged.

Health is a true wealth. Physically and mentally. Startup health is the same.

Fundraising is a full time job but it is nothing close to working on your business.

@liberal_party that is not the solution a long hard look is needed at the large corporations that buy up houses that leads to increased rent and increased house prices

Universities rely on foreign students because government has cut funding for decades… fund education and stop making us rely on foreign money to run schools. Canada needs those spaces!
