Loved talking to Jessica and Carolynn on The Social Radars, one of my favorite podcasts!
Today on The Social Radars, we talk to Surbhi Sarna, founder of nVision Medical and now a YC partner. Surbhi's story is an inspiring example of resilience. When I asked her how many investors turned her down, she said she stopped counting at 50. https://t.co/PIs2lR9M2Y
