Join us for a conversation with top YC founders and learn about their journey in entrepreneurship!
We'll be chatting about how these founders got started and when they knew it was right to start, their opinions around when one should start vs join a startup, their YC journey as well as major turning points / challenges post YC. Through this event, we hope to help engineers think about different opportunities into entrepreneurship, whether it be starting, joining, advising or working with startups.
