That's how you approach the Y Combinator application. It's that simple. I'm Aakash. I've raised 2 million for my Y Combinator company, Wyndly, where we fix allergies for life.

What is Tech Chase?
Sometimes, I wish to write things down. Sometimes, I wish the things I write down to be easily sharable and discoverable. That is what this place is.
