Gabriel Jarrosson, Lobster Capital VC on YC Startups & Founder Lessons

Gabriel Jarrosson is the Founder and Managing Partner of Lobster Capital, an early-stage fund that invests exclusively in the top-performing Y Combinator startups. After bootstrapping a prior company to $1M ARR with no employees and investing tens of millions of dollars across 100+ YC companies, he built Lobster Capital around a traction- and data-driven thesis, backing the top 2% of YC teams and coaching them through the messy realities of product-market fit, founder psychology, and scaling. Topics:

• Founder Psychology: Lessons From Backing 100+ YC Teams Through Chaos and Breakthroughs
