Tough question: In 2014 when you took on more of an advisory role at YC, was spending more time with your kids a big part of that decision? and if kids had happened earlier, do you think it is likely YC might not have succeeded or perhaps even not happened at all?

Yes, it was one of the main reasons. Depends how much earlier.

> having kids makes you less ambitious How do you explain the fact that all the great figures in history, especially those who conquered half the world, had many many children yet they got more ambitious with time? Even recent history: Elon, Jobs, Trump come to mind

I meant having kids in the sense of raising them, not merely in the technical sense of some concubine giving birth.

My wife and I have fertility problems and started fostering two little boys about 3 months ago. It's really hard sometimes and I needed to read this today. Thanks, Paul.

Also, men, if you EVER plan on having kids go get a semen analysis! My wife and I were overconfident and thought we'd "wait" to have kids. Our chances are so low we should have been trying the whole time. It's ironic that infertility knowledge can't really be passed on...

Beautiful. Having kids has been the best experience for both of us. While our son grew to 5 practically without me, I have had the joy of watching our 2yr girl, up and close. The joy makes me question the definition of “ambition”. I knew it was time to redefine success, again

I had a very similar experience. One difference is on the ambition point: I instantly felt an almost primal desire to only work on big projects with real impact for humanity. I think it’s because I connected that to the legacy I wanted to leave for my son.

Are you saying that tech readers that read this article will be willing to have kids now? If so, I thought the same thing. :)
