What you likely need
You're a YC W21 technical co-founder with deep engineering roots at Google/YouTube and Facebook, now building inside YC itself. Your strongest leverage points are your OSS credibility (react-rte, draft-js-utils), your YC network, and your rare vantage point as both a founder-alumni and a current YC engineer. Events that connect you with other YC founders, open-source communities, and early-stage technical hiring pools would be highest-value right now.
