Y Combinator(@ycombinator):We're excited to announce Diana Hu (@sdianahu) as YC's newest Managing Partner. Diana co-founded Escher Reality (YC S17), which was acquired by Niantic, where she shipped AR to the 100M+ people playing Pokémon GO. Since returning to YC as a partner, she has worked with nearly 230 companies that are now worth a combined $7 billion. Few people have built a startup from zero and also shipped at global scale. Diana has done both.
