Wow, this video provided such an insightful look into the heart of Silicon Valley's startup scene! As a software engineering student, hearing Gary Tan's journey from being a child of immigrants to leading Y Combinator is truly inspiring. His emphasis on simplicity in decision-making and the importance of diversity in tech resonated with me deeply. It's fascinating to learn about the fast-paced environment of YC's Demo Day and the role it plays in shaping the future of tech. Also, his vision for making San Francisco a hub for immigrant success in the tech industry is incredibly motivating. Can't wait to see how the next generation of startups continues to shape the world!
What makes an episode great is a guest's willingness to open up and share themselves with our audience. Garry did that and more, taking us to his favorite coffee shop, the halls of YC and even his house! I'm so grateful to Garry for showing so much of himself -- which means we learned so much about him and his views on the future of startups.
I know Gary, he’s the kindest and nicest person at YC. I interacted with him over 10 years ago on multiple occasions and he loves to help and is very generous and kind. If I ever meet him again I will let him know this.
Garry Tan has been a role model of mine amongst greats like Jobs, Thiel, Doug Leone etc as a VC and ex founder. But above all, Garry is a role model for what a human should be like. A genuinely great human being, you will never hear a bad story about Garry. His efforts to save SF should not go unnoticed. And don't forget, he makes some of the best youtube content you will ever come across.
I’ve spent so many memorable days at Red Rock Coffee, matter of fact I was opportune to meet with one of Wall Street geniuses in this cafe and it’s been a life changing encounter.
Well, she introduced me to trading assets and with her system it’s safe to say I’ve made quite a fortune in the financial trades market. It’s been two years and I know for sure that I’ve found a financial pro I can trust and who can consistently fetch me incomes.
Companies hire a ton of talented people because they have enough cash in the bank and profits to pay them. They do this to prevent them from being hired by their competitors, startups or even prevent them from starting their companies(like some sort of golden handcuffs). At the end of the day, if theres some new tech wave or hype like crypto or AI, they have the manpower to quickly spin up something as well and compete.

a tech startup derailed my career. so there are pitfalls along the way. I had to leave the bay area, and just being there always gave me motivation.

Thank you bloomberg for this, I don't know if I will ever make it to Y Combinator, but your questions has helped and I am preparing. Thank you so much! Its next to impossible for me but I wanna say it that I will be there in the next 2 years!!!
Hey Emily, fantastic interview! You always know the right questions to ask your guests. Keep on wowing us with all of the information presented on your shows Emily!😊
bravo Emily Chang. Strong interviewer who stands ground & can deliver powerful questions with temper. Garry Tan strong interviewee for seamlessly responding to everything; YC is in good hands
8:00 - There are basically no women in tech startups because women participate in both those fields at alarmingly low rates. Yes, women do opt for self-employment at equal rates as men but they tend to engage in entrepreneurship at much lower rates (partially due to aversion to risk) and also they enrol in tech degrees and courses at much lower rates too. fix Entrepreneurship and tech participation amongst women and you are highly likely to get a lot of women in tech startups.
@@joshuathomas512they want society to hand out last place participation trophies. They want the guy to manually change the ratio of who to invest in, when these guys are picking startups based on the idea not person
Half of the story is that there's much less women in the field, the other half of the story is that women aren't being funded like their male counterparts. A recent study by EU found that 1% of capital was allocated to women, 99% to men. But ~33% of new start ups came from women. When I listen to a Swedish podcast, the founders of Klarna, Spotify, Oneplus etc will never mention any problem at all with getting funded, but every woman will talk about how difficult it was and how they almost didn't make it because of that... 80% of business women in a new study (Sweden) stated they've experienced it's much harder to get access to capital than it is for men... So in a more misogynistic and less equal country like America, in the early 2000s that were even worse for women, in a field that was moving so quickly that not getting access to capital would mean a company wouldn't make it compared to the competition, it was probably not just less women in tech that contributed to lack of successful female founders.
@@zeroheroes4081notice the differentiation between the TOTAL 1:99 ratio vs the NEW 1:3 ratio… Cut out total funding only look at funding allocated within the “new startups” period. Manipulating statistics to fit their agenda, not surprised. You have to understand that funding varies depending on industry. Fintech, MarTech, and foodtech all carry different valuations, resulting in less funding - period. Which industries are the female founders innovating in? It’s much more complex than you’re portraying.
Women are underrepresented because there are not many excelling women in that field. They don't like to risk. It's statement of fact. Instead of forcing to make them happen think about why they're not there in the first place. Stop deluding people with pushy gender political correctness.
My favourite part of the video was when the made sure to leave out Aaron Schwartz of Reddit when they were showing off their pervious members... beautiful.
Also thank you Gary for all the insight and sharing your experiences and thoughts 💭 , I'm a 38 year old father of 7 kids and people used to tell me I was way passed my prime to build or think about starting a startup, It's been 2 years now since I first saw your content and it has literally just given me enough guts to eventually be like F@ck I'm going to do it anyway and it's been an amazing journey. Listening to your stories and growing up just hit me hard, I know get my kids to create a business of their choices and get them to pitch to me :)
I am a 34-year-old single lady and currently building my tech startup. You are not past any prime. You are in your element. You can even start over at age 65
8:01 - Unbelievable. Why is Emily Chang shaming this fellow for the lack of females in the photos from YC 2009? As if implying there was sexism or gatekeeping in their selection process when WE ALL know there's (or was) a lack of females in STEM fields. So cringe.
8:15 "Something we're continuing to work on". I'm sorry, but how is it YC's problem that not as many women are simply not interested in tech as men are? How does this undeniable basic scientific fact still come as a surprise to people. The reporter is clearly aware of this. Yet you have to call it out to appease BlackRock. Why? Garry is visibly uncomfortable with the question. It's so dumb.
I've spent many memorable days at Red Rock Coffee (loved their Open Mic nights too). The photos on the YC wall make me feel old - time flies! Dig the #f60 :)
I went here on a first date. It was a horrible place for a date. The upstairs is mostly a quiet zone. Everyone has their laptops open , headphones on and almost no chitter chatter sounds. I didn’t pick this place. It was my dates idea . We were the only ones talking and I could tell it was annoying people. The whole date turned sour from this experience and I never called her back.

China's Tsinghua University and Peking University admitted 7,600 students out of 12.91 million applicants, with an acceptance rate of 0.059%.

I, too, felt the two questions about the lack of women founders in YC was badgering. The CEO can't make women apply. I also don't want companies to lower their standards just to get more women. And that does happen so companies can display their diversity.

love Gary Tan the goat. Rags to riches, the epitome of the American Dream, the inspiration for every international entrepreneur in “third world countries” like me.
funny she asks where are the women....why not ask the women? and what is the ratio of women in tech vs men? you walk into a family daycare with room full of women...do you ask where are the men?
Honesty Ycombinator only has a fraction of applications that are from women founders, just like the rest of tech. Even if Ycombinator accepts 50% of them (which is way higher than men), it’ll still be way less women founders than men. Have you ever walked into a CS lecture and seen more than a couple women? (Even though they have special clubs and networking events exclusively for women just to help them succeed) I’m kinda embarrassed she even asked this question, it’s more of a societal issue
when the interviewer ask, what you are doing to include women, i think the right question should be the other way round, what should women do more to get into YC
Love YC but if women are not applying as much as men thus not big deal, YC should continue to focus on bringing greta ideas to market. No need to force the so called INCLUSIVITY!
They need to invest in job opportunities in each city and not just where they have their offices of each startup. There are professionals who do not have the facility to migrate to another city only because they do not open jobs outside their company comfort zone to save on office rent and tax payments in every city.
Big thanks to Emily Chang and the team at Bloomberg for having me on The Circuit. Huge honor and super fun to be on.
