We're ceding far too much authority to people who are good at attracting attention. At every level of society. Quiet competence is in decline.

Do yourself a favor and get a job in sales at a startup before starting your own company.

There's never one big thing that makes a startup successful. It's the million little tiny wins that add up and compound over time.

This is great.

Thanks for the support from the get go David!

Thanks Paul Graham! I vividly remember our first meeting and doing vertebrae with you in front of the batch!

Congrats to Harman Singh Narula, “SJ” Sawhney and the entire CanaryTechnologies (YC S18) team on their $15M Series A! On a mission to modernize the hotel tech stack, Canary's tools have helped thousands of hotels digitize and process more than 5M reservations to date: skift.com/2022/02/25/can…

Heartbreaking. This elderly Sikh man was attacked from behind while walking to temple in NY early this morning. Please share and reach out if you may be able to assist.

Congrats Harman Singh Narula, “SJ” Sawhney and team CanaryTechnologies on the Series B! Canary (YC S18) aims to modernize the way global hotel chains manage their guest management by bringing their paper-based workflows online: businessinsider.com/y-combinator-b…

Immigrant father with four young kids shot and killed while working a late night Lyft shift to try and provide for his family. Heartbreaking. Donate to the family here: gofundme.com/f/support-fami…

Couldn’t agree with this more.

Congrats to CanaryTechnologies on their series C fundraise, and far more importantly, on making software that makes hotels run 10x better! techcrunch.com/2024/06/12/ins…

It’s rare that a YC Demo Day pitch ends up being exactly what a company does, but Harman Singh Narula laid out their master plan back in 2018. I’ll never forget it.

What's uniquely hard about running a startup is that you don't merely have to endure adversity, but have to solve intellectually difficult problems while doing so. It's like trying to find integrals while being chased by a lion.
