Show Notes

Today we catch up with Harj Taggar, who knows as much about startups as anyone of his generation. YC funded two of his startups, Auctomatic in 2007 and Triplebyte in 2015. In between them he was the first partner we hired besides the founders, and now he's a YC partner again. Among other things he happened to have a front row seat for the Damore controversy in 2017, and is one of the few people who know just how extreme things got in those days.
