Why I chose Surbhi as my co-founder and joined her to build Collate:

.@SurbhiSarnaSF and @nateps are ferocious startup animals. Congrats guys!

It was quite the funny moment!

Thank you, @t_blom! It was inspiring to see you in action. The founders who get to work with you at YC are privileged to have you behind them.

I couldn't agree with you more: @SurbhiSarnaSF cannot be stopped! Thank you @saranormous for your support! I am incredibly excited to partner with you and build

.@SurbhiSarnaSF is an unstoppable force. I asked if we could invest one sentence into our convo about her starting another company. Incredibly excited to see Collate (and the mission-driven applied AI team led by her + @nateps) accelerate the pace of innovation in biotech.

Thank you, @garrytan! We are incredibly excited for life sciences companies to use https://t.co/YOE2oXICuu and accelerate development of life-saving products. Thank you and YC for building a community that inspires and supports us as founders!

I’m excited to introduce Collate and announce our $30M seed round. We’re using AI to help solve one of the biggest problems for life sciences companies — the never-ending cycle of document creation and maintenance you need to do to stay compliant. While running my first

So excited to be founding https://t.co/YOE2oXICuu together with @SurbhiSarnaSF! https://t.co/nMqEINJYh8

Yesterday we hosted 400 top university students at the YC Summer Conference - a fun day of talks about startups.  Talking to the students afterwards, I found myself giving a lot of the same advice. So in case it's useful to others, here is my startup advice for students.

2 years ago, only 10% of the YC batch was college students or new grads. The last batch was 30%. Because of AI, it's the best time in a decade for college students to start startups. That's why all 14 YC partners came to Boston today to talk to undergrads.

Just like that YC W24 is over! We went from being a mere idea in our heads to a product that runs thousands of workflows for our customers every day Always grateful to @snowmaker and @nateps for keeping us honest, and preparing us for what is yet to come ⚒

The latest @TheDailyShow episode on AI scared me. It scares me that the US is developing antibodies around progress. What happened to the days where JFK asked a janitor at NASA's headquarters what he was doing and the janitor said, “I’m helping to put a man on the moon.” 🚀

Genuinely confused when I see people post about @ycombinator “not being a fit for certain startups”. Maybe you can go out and raise large amounts of capital on better terms… but even still… YCs value is so much more than capital. For us, YCs value has had everything to do

I feel like @DavidSacks will love this... but I can't tell 🤔 My favorite moment from @theallinpod yesterday was @chamath and @jason’s faces when Sacks said the line about John Stewart 🎙️ Here's a preview of the next @TheDailyShow episode:

1\ What a dream come true! 🤩 I am the biggest fan of the @theallinpod. I’ve listened to every episode since single digit numbers and even went to the first All In Summit during the week of my wedding! And today, they talked about @toinfinityai on the pod. I am over the moon!

♾ @toInfinityAI (YC W24) is building a foundation model that turns scripts into movies. Their first tool allows users to generate talking head videos with AI. Congrats on the launch, @lina_colucci and @sidney_primas! https://t.co/IvmuX55plh

We are happy to announce our $3M seed round from @ycombinator , @haystackvc, and Sunflower Capital to help engineers monetize AI products and standardize usage metering. https://t.co/lJOz4mKZ37

I can't believe we're already halfway through YC! 🤯 ✨ It's wild to think what a different place we're in now compared to when we started.  🔀 I came into 2024 feeling beaten down and with pretty low confidence. I'm now so happy and energized to be building again. I have
