    One of the stranger aspects of being a YC partner is having to be a guinea pig for new things. This is not always a good experience, but it was with Doordash.

        Jessica and I had small children at the time, and Doordash let us combine two things we'd previously assumed were incompatible: eating food from restaurants, and being at home with our kids.

        Previously the only way to combine kids and restaurants was to take the kids with you to the restaurant. And as anyone with small children knows, this is not an unmixed good.

        Sleeping in a strangers apartment, and paying for it! ;) The more weird the thing, the higher chance it has to be a big company. Weird = misunderstood.

        Iterations are needed in order to find ideal solutions, the faster you fail, probability will make the rest. Congratulations for this win.

        The recent psychedelics movement might pose some challenges for the YC interview panel. Vegan and synthetic food, too (especially in remote interviews).

        Imagine where we would be without services like DoorDash, InstaCart, NetFlix, Zoom. The pandemic would have been "10x" worse.

        super curious if you hold these two IPOs long term, or start selling at these valuations. Something we will probably never know :( Big time win this week for YC!!!!

        What was not a great experience and yet turned out to be a great success?
