How to get into YC 3-Months after Quitting their Jobs I Emil & Finn I Founders of Kapa.ai

Finn & Emil are the founders of Kapa.ai, recently finished YC in San Francisco, and in this episode lead us through their journey.

Considering that they have been formally out of their jobs since January ‘23, their trajectory has been stunning and - at least from the outside in - partially peaked when they were invited to meet Paul Graham. We cover their respective journeys, top learnings from YC, and follow through their most significant career decisions. This is an insane episode.
