Dear friends-
I wanted to let you know I am stepping away from YC. I've been involved at YC since early 2011 and in that time it has been my privilege to work with over 600 startups and over a thousand founders. It would be impossible for me to have predicted the success the team has achieved since then. After nearly five years, I’m ready to take a break and plan for my next adventure.It's been a great time and I wanted to thank everyone for being awesome. PG, Jessica, Trevor, and RTM have built an enduring organization and I can't wait to see where my friends and partners take it. Led by Sam, the YC partnership has taken the founding vision and put it on track for tremendous success and impact. Between the incubator, YC Research and YC Fellowship, the future is bright indeed. YC is engraved in my heart. To my fellow alums: I will always be there for you.
My wife and I are headed to Southern France and Spain for a few months to relax and enjoy the wonders of parenthood with our 3 month old infant. I don't know what is next yet, but making great software and helping others do the same will always be my life's purpose. See you all back in SF in the new year.
With much love,
-Garry
