      Congratulations Alex, Andrew, and Baskar on PagerDuty's IPO! When PagerDuty did YC in back in summer 2010, I used to write an email to TechCrunch explaining each startup when it launched. Here's what I wrote about them:pic.twitter.com/6O3CkBKTWr

      Investors who talked to me on Demo Day used to be surprised that I had such a detailed understanding of what all the companies were doing. But it wasn't surprising when you consider I'd basically written a short essay about each one.

          The power of reflecting! Why don’t we do this more often - for things that are important to us (especially our most meaningful relationships)? 🤔

          People being surprised that you would know what your incubator companies are doing is the purest example of how people don't understand what investing is or what venture capital is actually about (including many who call themselves investors or VCs!).

          What’s your view on current batch sizes? Have they gotten too big to have such a detailed understanding of each incubatee?

          I'm surprised someone would invest in a company without having a detailed understanding of what the company is doing. Maybe it's FOMO?

          Is YC doing the same today for the batches(short essay about each one)? It will be great to see and share...
