How to Join YC, Raise $2M, and Land Fortune 500 Clients After Setbacks

_________
🎧 In this insightful episode of Default Global, host Vitaly Koval sits down with Philippe Noël, the Co-founder and CEO of ParadeDB, for an engaging conversation about his entrepreneurial journey, lessons learned, and the future of his latest venture. Philippe Noël, a seasoned entrepreneur and second-time founder, shares his experiences transitioning from his previous startup, Whist, to the innovative ParadeDB, an Elasticsearch alternative built on Postgres.
Philippe introduces ParadeDB, a completely different venture both in concept and execution. The idea stemmed from a six-month exploration period post-Whist, where Philippe and his co-founder identified the inefficiencies companies faced using both Postgres and Elasticsearch. This led to the conception of ParadeDB, which has since been part of the prestigious Y Combinator S23 cohort and has seen substantial growth, including enterprise adoption and significant funding.
This episode is a treasure trove of insights for both budding and seasoned entrepreneurs, providing a transparent look into the trials and triumphs of startup life, embodying the spirit of resilience and innovation. Don't miss out on Philippe's invaluable experiences and strategies that could transform your entrepreneurial approach. Tune in to Default Global to get inspired and informed.

🧑About Host:
Vit Koval, Co-founder @GoGloby and host @Default Global, is a staunch advocate for Global Hiring and Remote Work. He transitioned from his Ukrainian roots to assisting numerous US tech firms ($1M-$100M ARR) in establishing global remote teams over the past decade.
His global-first mindset, cultivated since his youth, has been instrumental in his career. The Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 underscored the significance of his philosophy as companies had to adapt or risk extinction.
Capitalizing on this, Koval created GoGloby, a US tech talent agency with a global workforce, serving clients from Google, Ethereum, PayPal, Disney, and various tech startups backed by notable firms.
His zeal for international expansion led to his hosting Default Global, where he and other experts guide individuals towards global growth.
