Hey mom – I made Partner! 💪💥
@ycombinator changed my life when they took a chance on my cofounders and me back in 2012.
Education wasn't a particularly glamorous industry at the time among investors (still isn't...). But YC recklessly entrusted us with $125,000 so we could give our idea a shot.
At Office Hours, it often felt like they believed in our idea more than we did. I'll never forget that feeling.
And back when almost no one I knew was doing startups, YC gave us a peer group of builders. Some of whom are still my closest friends 13 years later.
I'm at YC again now because I want to pay it forward and help more people experience the wild, uncertain, and thrilling adventure of startups. Let's go!!!
@patrickdichter@ConnorAbene @keeper_hq Hey Patrick, have enjoyed following you here and hearing your perspective on running an accounting firm from a more traditional business background!
If you ever want a personal tour of Keeper or just to chat, my email is ben.stein@keeper :)
@TapEnvyUS @keeper_hq of course! I appreciate your bringing this to our attention. We're going to include this as part of our retro to make sure similar issues don't happen in the future
@TapEnvyUS @keeper_hq Makes total sense and fair criticism. We've pushed an update so we're no longer relying on Launchdarkly / other 3rd party dependencies here, so this should be working again
@TapEnvyUS @keeper_hq Hey @TapEnvyUS , Ben here (Keeper's CEO). I'm sorry about this bug, thank you for bringing it to our attention. We strive to make our portal easy to use and that's clearly not been the case here. Our eng team is investigating & working on a fix
Thanks, Boz. Apology accepted.
I am infamously good at holding grudges, but Meta has changed a lot over the past 8 years. The people responsible for my ouster and internal/external smear campaign aren't even around anymore. At some point, the Ship of Theseus has sailed.
