Thank you !

Thank you :-)

There's a lot of lessons I've learned along the way

These are probably two of the top ones:

1. Solve a big problem that people have (even better if you personally have it)

2. Who you work with matters more than what you work on :-)

So the big question I have is how do I get started ?

Looks like you had a small company, that was able to pivot and expand.

I'm planning on spending at least 3 months diving into my side projects, and then I'll try YC again.

Do I then just cold email various YC like funds until I fetch some interest, or should I focus on building my project.
