    Harj Taggar, Partner, Y Combinator

    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.

    Gusto Co-Founders: Josh Reeves, Edward Kim & Tomer London

    In today’s episode, we chat with all three of the Gusto founders: Josh Reeves, Eddie Kim, and Tomer London. Gusto is a payroll and employee benefits company that YC funded in 2012. The striking thing about Josh, Eddie, and Tomer is their level of commitment: to their customers, their employees, and one another. It's rare to see a startup with 3 founders still being run by all 3 founders 12 years in, but these guys are special.
