How this YC Backed Company Won the SaaStock USA Global Pitch Competition

In this episode of the SaaS Revolution Show our host Alex Theuma is
joined by Alex David, co-founder & COO of Corrily, to share
their YC story and how they won the SaaStock USA Global Pitch
Competition earlier this year. "There’s a lot of survivor bias in
the startup world - like you don’t really hear about the founders
who have failed, you hear about the ones who are successful so you
compare yourself to them and you’re like “well I’m not that”. And
so I think, that I hesitated to go into that space for a long time
because of it, but you know, maybe that was fine because I learned
a lot in my career and by having held off I bring a lot more
experience to the table than I otherwise would have. Part of why we
are having the success that we have is that none of us are college
dropouts or first few years in our careers - all of us have had
careers, and we’re kind of bringing that weight to the table of you
know 10ish+ years of work experience and really bringing that to
the forefront of what we’re doing." Alex shares: His YC experience
