Next year, I'll be going back to Y Combinator as President and CEO. It's a one in ten billion lifetimes kind of opportunity— YC gave me my start, and I'm deeply grateful to the community. forbes.com/sites/alexkonr

Often the toughest times for founders involve their personal lives intersect with their business lives. With the start of summer break and volatile market conditions, I am hoping for smooth sailing ahead but preparing for some choppy waters.
