Nicolas Dessaigne(@dessaigne):On the sidelines of Paris Startup School, I sat down with @oliveur, cofounder and CEO of @datadoghq. Little did I know that Datadog actually applied to YC in 2010 and was rejected! Nearly every other investor passed too. Nine years later, it went public at about $7.5B. They are now at over $80B. Olivier still keeps PG's rejection email. In this video, Olivier shared how they got there and how he continues leading the company in founder mode. 1/9
