Ontol··on AMA: I watched 100 YC Startup School lectures (from 2008 to 2016)
I've seen a shift from complete uncertainty to certainty, because in 8 years, YC startups have achieved notable success

In the beginning there were a lot of outside speakers, then they started inviting more of their own graduates

It was interesting to note that many of the speakers said that a couple of years ago they were sitting in the audience and looking enviously at the stage

Ontol··on Founders at Work: 150+ Y Combinator Founder’s Stories
What's your favorite story from startup founders?
Ontol··on Show HN: Curated list of 150 YC founder's stories
(Dedicated to Jessica Livingston and Paul Graham)

Jessica Livingston's book "Founders at work" (2007, 32 stories) inspired thousands of founders to start startup.

I find 150+ founders stories to inspire new wave of founders. (+pitchdecs, demoday videos and applications). And finding every day more and more stories! (Sometimes I think that stories find me themselfs.)

It was amazing journey, it change my mind, I rushed into unknnown unknowns, where angels fear to tread... and I want to share this with everyone.

I hope, that FoundersAtWork.io saves 50-100 hours for 1000+ new founders.

It is my "embarrassing MVP", I continue to work, and I need your feedback. (+everyone can contribute founder's story)
