@ycombinator @snowmaker @agupta @aroraharshita33 @haakamaujla @agentmail The Michigan startup ecosystem keeps growing. And events like these are where many of those journeys start. More conversations. More founders. More Michigan startups.

@ycombinator @snowmaker @agupta @aroraharshita33 @haakamaujla @agentmail Moments like this matter. When students hear directly from founders who were just in their exact position, the path from idea → company suddenly feels a lot more possible.

@ycombinator came back to Michigan this February. We hosted Y Combinator partners @snowmaker, @agupta, and @aroraharshita33 for a fireside chat + a full day of coffee chats with student founders. 600+ builders showed up.
