Y Combinator(@ycombinator):We're excited to announce Christopher Golda (@golda) and Grey Baker (@greybaker) as YC's newest General Partners! Chris co-founded BackType (S08), sold it to Twitter, then built their entire ad business from zero to $1B+ in revenue. Grey co-founded Dependabot, a developer tool a million engineers rely on every single day— and sold it to GitHub. Then he co-founded Pincites (S23), which was acquired by Filevine. As Visiting Partners, both have already spent multiple batches working closely with founders. Now they're doing it full-time.
