@TheBlackClockOfTime

Can't believe this is free. Such great insight. Such poise, tenacity and strength of character. Incredible.

@medermamutov2768

It was really fucking good. Man, Conrad is so interesting. I heard a story about him while at YC and now can hear and see how he built Zenefits and Rippling. Incredible.

@mahamatadoum9061

Thanks a lot Garry for everything you do, big fun of both of you, Parker is a great visionary. We are building our MVP and we will apply after some traction. Let's build a great world!

@Sosa49377

Love this long form interview content where founders get to tell their story. Would be great to hear a lot more of these

@isiborakhaine8377

Thanks Gary for this and thanks for bringing Parker on.
This interview just confirmed that I wasn't crazy, I now have a name for what we are trying to build for the supply chain industry. Compound startups is the way to go!

@josephdraper8615

Thank you for sharing your failures and your successes with us. 🙏🏻

@sayo_paul

So many lessons to learn in this. Thank you !

@mukultaneja8014

Parker made some references which I did not understand, did you guys also feel that ? What if we could understand 100% of all references which speaker mentions, would that make our experience better ?

@jrmydnls

I've heard that YC is shifting away from investing in Africa. As a Nigerian founder building a product for the global market, do I still have a chance of getting into YC?

@NordylitoDungo

Thanks guys for this sharing this kind of topics I benefits this for my daily life❤

@MrFivefour

He seems to be very humble person

@nexcreatives

Just applied for Spring 2025, might just fail but guess what? i'll try again, until i get to see Garry's rolex in-person

@samyakverma4928

Super insightful on B2B AI of the future. Could you get other founders talking about idea maze for deeptech/medtech where there is regulations holding back companies from building fast and breaking things

@noahloyd9

I might not be done but I think I’m ready to get started . Hope to see you in April yc - Noah A. Loyd
