I'm hosting an intimate fireside chat with Nicolas Dessaigne in San Francisco on October 7 at 6 PM.

Nicolas co-founded and led Algolia (now valued at $2B+, ranked in YC's top 100 alongside Airbnb and Stripe). He's now a YC General Partner who has mentored hundreds of startups through over 3,000 hours of office hours.

We'll be discussing his journey scaling Algolia to 350 people, lessons from YC, and what he looks for in founders today.

Details: - Date: October 7 - Time: 6:00 PM - Location: INSEAD San Francisco Hub (SOMA)

RSVP: https://partiful.com/e/hJSfxKhW4Kp8zy2J3N2C

Would love to see folks from the HN community there - and feel free to share on X or LinkedIn if you think others would enjoy it!
