This man created one of the most used devtool in the world: Docker Solomon Hykes convinced me with 1 text to join @YCombinator. See how, over WhatsApp: “Hey Solomon, we’ve been accepted at YC, can I call you to know your opinion?” “Can’t talk right now but… accept!” Few

What an amazing event with 100+ YC founders. NYC may compete with SF on the tech scene my friends 🙂 happy to organize this for the first ever YC official alumni event in NY.

I just found out who wins: Waymo vs Zoox in San Francisco 🙌

Glad I’m not the only one trying to break the internet with videos… You can be Amazon, hire an Academy award actor; and still got 800 views…

I come from a small town called Colmar in France, a place with about 70,000 people. Growing up there, it was easy to feel like the world of big opportunities was far away, especially as the first engineer in my family. Six years ago, I made the decision to move with my wife and

Yesterday, I met the ex-CEO of Intel - Pat Gelsinger. The alignment of stars. That’s the only way to describe it. And it happened at the house of Garry Tan, CEO of Y Combinator, and also my group partner. An unusual way to meet someone whose work has shaped so much of tech. One

ARR is the biggest lie in the startup world. And it’s killing companies silently. I've seen startups with $5M ARR struggling to make payroll. Why? Because a lot of their customers do not pay them. - They sold to big logos. - Invoiced them. - Counted it as revenue. Then

I attended the Y Combinator Alumni Demo Day this week. In person. Mine was remote so this was the first time I felt the full intensity of it. The speed at which these founders are building and growing their revenue is insane To every founder who stood on that stage - you

I’m sick of watching great businesses struggle with cash flow issues and payment collections. So here’s what I’ll do: I’ll personally talk to the first 5 finance heads or founders who comment or get tagged here. No pitches - I’ll genuinely walk you through what’s actually

Today, I had to say one of the hardest goodbyes as a founder. Because one of our teammates chose to serve his country. After three years of building with us, one of our best developers is leaving to join the Ukrainian army. And even as I type this, it still feels surreal. He

You know what’s better than a Veo 3 video? Getting your unpaid invoice cleared We made a short film about it Spoiler: the client pays

When I moved to the US to build Respaid (YC S23) never in my wildest dreams did I imagine I’d be co-hosting something that follows a speaker lineup of Elon Musk, Satya Nadella and Sam Altman! But tonight - that’s what’s happening. We’re hosting the biggest Y Combinator afterparty at

I had to let go of Airbnb as a client (intro by Brian Chesky himself) We spoke early in our YC batch. He was quick to engage, connected me to his team, and we had multiple calls. Everyone was excited. It could’ve been a huge logo for us. But a few weeks in, I realized: what we

If San Francisco were a SaaS company, it’d be at (-)$200M ARR. I’ve lived here for 5 years and I want to make this city safer. Because right now, San Francisco is sitting on $200M in unpaid B2B invoices. Money that could be used to clean streets, pay teachers, and expand

Most founders send cold emails. I sent YC founders collection notices. And their lawyers panicked. True story. Hear me out. Using Respaid’s enrichment tech, I picked a few top YC founders and sent them a $1 collection notice for their own product. It wasn’t generic. – I used

Founders: here’s why you’re not getting paid. It’s not the market. It’s not your customer. It’s your payment experience. You’re still: – Sending PDF invoices – Asking for wires and checks – Using portals that feel like scams Meanwhile, your customer’s used to paying for

Wowwww deel just named Joe Kauffman president & CFO. You might not know him: he scaled Credit Karma from about $100M to $2.3B+ in revenue (~20×), led two initial public offerings, and says he’s aiming for a third. Excited for Deel. This guy is a beast 👊 For context on Deel:
