Julia Fedorin(@juliafedorin):When Sam Bhagwat (@calcsam) went through @ycombinator, he and his co-founder joked they were 'the uncs of the batch.' Both dads. Both with a lot more experience than a 25 year old. Both with enough reps to know exactly what they're building. Sam's a two-time founder. Built @GatsbyJS (acquired by @Netlify), now building @mastra, a TypeScript framework for AI agents. Turns out life experience might be the most underrated founder skill. Is it time for a YC built for experienced operators?
