The founders of Airbnb, Stripe, Doordash, and Ginkgo Bioworks often come back to tell the inside story of what happened in the early days of their startups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Startups are sorted into 4 groups. Each group is led by group partners who advise the founders in one-on-one and group office hours. Each group is split into 12-14 sections (6-10 companies), so founders can help each other and get the benefit of an intimate setting within the larger batch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During and after the batch, we introduce founders to people who can help with any challenge.
