Great interview! I see a CEO to whom I can share my startup story. Can I buy you a cup of coffee?

My dividend journey began when I realized that two particular expenses in my budget were always going to go up and never go down. The two expenses were taxes and insurance. I realized that the dramatic rise in both will need some added income. So, I started buying shares paying dividends. I can now see that this will be the path I need to take to make sure those two expenses will not overtake my future income.

Off course, but Just because there are opportunities in the market doesn’t mean you should go in blindly. To understand the potential factors that contribute to your financial growth, I'll advise you to seek the help of a professional.

Even with the right strategies and appropriate assets, investment returns can differ among investors. Recognizing the vital role of experience in investment success is crucial. Personally, I understood this significance and sought guidance from a market analyst, significantly growing my account to nearly a million. Strategically withdrawing profits just before the market correction, I'm now seizing buying opportunities once again.

What makes an episode great is a guest's willingness to open up and share themselves with our audience. Garry did that and more, taking us to his favorite coffee shop, the halls of YC and even his house! I'm so grateful to Garry for showing so much of himself -- which means we learned so much about him and his views on the future of startups.

I know Gary, he’s the kindest and nicest person at YC. I interacted with him over 10 years ago on multiple occasions and he loves to help and is very generous and kind. If I ever meet him again I will let him know this.

Garry Tan has been a role model of mine amongst greats like Jobs, Thiel, Doug Leone etc as a VC and ex founder. But above all, Garry is a role model for what a human should be like. A genuinely great human being, you will never hear a bad story about Garry. His efforts to save SF should not go unnoticed. And don't forget, he makes some of the best youtube content you will ever come across.

Companies hire a ton of talented people because they have enough cash in the bank and profits to pay them. They do this to prevent them from being hired by their competitors, startups or even prevent them from starting their companies(like some sort of golden handcuffs). At the end of the day, if theres some new tech wave or hype like crypto or AI, they have the manpower to quickly spin up something as well and compete.

a tech startup derailed my career. so there are pitfalls along the way. I had to leave the bay area, and just being there always gave me motivation. The scenery up and down the coastline is magic too. Crimson sunsets, misty drifting fog, waves of the wild restless sea crashing over rugged rocky shoreline. The amazing restaurants. And the energy of Silicon Valley.

Wow, this video provided such an insightful look into the heart of Silicon Valley's startup scene! As a software engineering student, hearing Gary Tan's journey from being a child of immigrants to leading Y Combinator is truly inspiring. His emphasis on simplicity in decision-making and the importance of diversity in tech resonated with me deeply. It's fascinating to learn about the fast-paced environment of YC's Demo Day and the role it plays in shaping the future of tech. Also, his vision for making San Francisco a hub for immigrant success in the tech industry is incredibly motivating. Can't wait to see how the next generation of startups continues to shape the world!

Love Gary. Humble, down-to-earth leader.

bravo Emily Chang. Strong interviewer who stands ground & can deliver powerful questions with temper. Garry Tan strong interviewee for seamlessly responding to everything; YC is in good hands

8:00 - There are basically no women in tech startups because women participate in both those fields at alarmingly low rates. Yes, women do opt for self-employment at equal rates as men but they tend to engage in entrepreneurship at much lower rates (partially due to aversion to risk) and also they enrol in tech degrees and courses at much lower rates too. fix Entrepreneurship and tech participation amongst women and you are highly likely to get a lot of women in tech startups.

Half of the story is that there's much less women in the field, the other half of the story is that women aren't being funded like their male counterparts. A recent study by EU found that 1% of capital was allocated to women, 99% to men. But ~33% of new start ups came from women. When I listen to a Swedish podcast, the founders of Klarna, Spotify, Oneplus etc will never mention any problem at all with getting funded, but every woman will talk about how difficult it was and how they almost didn't make it because of that... 80% of business women in a new study (Sweden) stated they've experienced it's much harder to get access to capital than it is for men... So in a more misogynistic and less equal country like America, in the early 2000s that were even worse for women, in a field that was moving so quickly that not getting access to capital would mean a company wouldn't make it compared to the competition, it was probably not just less women in tech that contributed to lack of successful female founders.

@Hellotherett

⁠@@zeroheroes4081notice the differentiation between the TOTAL 1:99 ratio vs the NEW 1:3 ratio… Cut out total funding only look at funding allocated within the “new startups” period. Manipulating statistics to fit their agenda, not surprised. You have to understand that funding varies depending on industry. Fintech, MarTech, and foodtech all carry different valuations, resulting in less funding - period. Which industries are the female founders innovating in? It’s much more complex than you’re portraying.

Women are underrepresented because there are not many excelling women in that field. They don't like to risk. It's statement of fact. Instead of forcing to make them happen think about why they're not there in the first place. Stop deluding people with pushy gender political correctness.

China's Tsinghua University and Peking University admitted 7,600 students out of 12.91 million applicants, with an acceptance rate of 0.059%. Indian Institutes of Technology (IIT) may share similar statistics. Not saying these students can have real impact on the world but the acceptant rates exceeds Y Combinator's.

8:15 "Something we're continuing to work on". I'm sorry, but how is it YC's problem that not as many women are simply not interested in tech as men are? How does this undeniable basic scientific fact still come as a surprise to people. The reporter is clearly aware of this. Yet you have to call it out to appease BlackRock. Why? Garry is visibly uncomfortable with the question. It's so dumb.

Why did Gary look so nervous when asked about women joining in tech? How is this his fault that there are less women applying to YC ? - Wouldve been a great opportunity to say - " Hey, thats a very great question, any women tech founders out there, send us an application" - There was a large push to get women into tech in my bay area highschool - sadly a large majority dropped out to focus on their onlyfans careers

Also thank you Gary for all the insight and sharing your experiences and thoughts 💭 , I'm a 38 year old father of 7 kids and people used to tell me I was way passed my prime to build or think about starting a startup, It's been 2 years now since I first saw your content and it has literally just given me enough guts to eventually be like F@ck I'm going to do it anyway and it's been an amazing journey.

I went here on a first date. It was a horrible place for a date. The upstairs is mostly a quiet zone. Everyone has their laptops open , headphones on and almost no chitter chatter sounds. I didn’t pick this place. It was my dates idea . We were the only ones talking and I could tell it was annoying people. The whole date turned sour from this experience and I never called her back.

I have been following the tech-wizard, Gary Tan for sometime now. He is simply one of those people who really care. Lets put some respect on his name.

Did anyone notice that the companies funded by YC are more design-centric? Airbnb, Stripe, Coinbase.. and the list goes on

She knew it was 10 mins interview to decide whether to invest or not. She had interviewed Paul graham and Jessica Livingston.

Awesome video! Garry is the best

Does this startup school also apply to people starting Venture Capital companies?

Garry is a great leader! Thank you for all that you do

Love YC but if women are not applying as much as men thus not big deal, YC should continue to focus on bringing greta ideas to market. No need to force the so called INCLUSIVITY!

Gary is going to be a great CEO.

Good interview, good job Emily

Thank you for asking that question about women in tech - excellent interview.

Honesty Ycombinator only has a fraction of applications that are from women founders, just like the rest of tech. Even if Ycombinator accepts 50% of them (which is way higher than men), it’ll still be way less women founders than men. Have you ever walked into a CS lecture and seen more than a couple women? (Even though they have special clubs and networking events exclusively for women just to help them succeed) I’m kinda embarrassed she even asked this question, it’s more of a societal issue
