Episode notes

When I did our launch accelerator years ago, maybe six years ago, I looked at what Y Combinator was offering. And I said, hey, we'll offer to put 25K in your company for 5% when you come. This is my original deal. It's a major gift as an onboarding that kind of gets you into the world really fast. If you're a second or third time founder and you've had success, it's obviously not worth it because you could raise, or you could fund it yourself. We all know that according to eight sleep, over 30% of Americans struggle with their sleep. Now you can just buy the cover and still experience the full magic

First Jason and Molly discuss YC's new $500K deal for startups and what that means for founders and early stage investors (1:53). They also dig into car-sharing app Turo's S-1 (25:32). Then Redfin Co-founder and current Deep Sentinel CEO Dave Selinger joins to discuss how his company blends human monitors and AI-enabled cameras to deliver an unmatched security camera experience (38:25).
