Congrats Dalton Caldwell and Paul Buchheit!! i’ll miss working together, and at the same time this is great for startups’ series As

Brex wouldn't exist without Dalton. And most importantly, YC as we know today wouldn't exist without him. Excited to see the next leap in Dalton's journey!

Ilya Sukhar PB was the first investor we pitched - right at the end of YC. I remember being nervous and working furiously on a handful of slides. He said “I’m in” & pulled out that checkbook before we could start the pitch. I remember insisting he at least look at our growth graph.

Dalton interviewed us at Algolia for YC W14, but that was just the beginning. He supported me as a first-time founder, and again when I joined YC as a new partner. I've learned so much from you Dalton Caldwell! I can't thank you enough! Congrats on this new chapter!!!

Every job has “Hell yeah!” moments. At YC many of mine have been hearing Dalton give founders unintuitive, surprising advice that answers their questions, points them at a more ambitious path AND amps them up to barrel down that path. Him and Paul Buchheit teaming up to help startups

Founders, just one office hour with Paul Buchheit or Dalton Caldwell can change the trajectory of your company, and to have both of them on your side, is game changing! What an unbelievable combo! Had the fortunate chance to work with PB as our group partner when we went through YC, and

Have you thanked your AI Partner lately?

More than a decade ago Paul Buchheit gave me a piece of advice that is now my entire angel investing philosophy: Invest in what you want to see more of in this world. I'm sure he doesn't remember the convo but I think about it all the time. Thanks Paul!

DoorDash (S13) is now a $100B company!

Thank goodness Paul Buchheit was hungry when we came in for our YC interview

Zero to $100,000,000,000 in twelve years After their demo day presentation, one investor complained to me that there were "too many food companies" That investor missed out on a >1000x return :)

It was the summer of Windows '95... My first (and only) time shipping the kind of software that is sold in cardboard boxes at the mall

Excited that Paul Buchheit will be participating in this 🇺🇸

I remember PB telling New Story at YC, “You could build new towns.” We were 24yr old kids. Knew almost nothing ab what it takes to “build towns.” PB encourages this mentality in founders. Fast forward. We’re producing ~2,500 housing lots this year, that will start a few new

Paul's questions are always so incisive and sharp. He interviewed us for YC, and I still remember that he had such concise and to-the-point questions. Had office hours with him a few times, and he always got to the heart of the problem in like 5 mins. And Dalton Caldwell's direct
