Great to hear Jessica's voice (literally) on this. Listening to her story, it's wild to think she and pg had such success with what really must have felt very experimental. "Learn quickly by funding a bunch of startups at once" feels like a very startup-y way to go about your business.

I just love to hear Jessica&#x27;s excitement for each of the Y Combinator startups. It&#x27;s more than that. These founders are her people.<p>I did find myself giggling hearing her pronounce some of the fun company names like &quot;WuFoo&quot;.

A little meta, but I am noticing more &quot;startups stories as content&quot; out there. (It maybe the red car syndrome, you drive a red car and so see them everywhere) but more and more podcasts, news items are about the real honest it&#x27;s not all rocket ships to the top stories.<p>It&#x27;s good to hear, despite the angst, uncertainty, stress

I first parsed the title as <i>[Jessica Livingston ... Accident...]</i> and was briefly worried.
