During the last few batches, visitors to June 100 and Andrew Maclas have become two most reliable voices of the YC community. Both of them were founders in the Summer 2010 batch of YC, and now, 15 years and two industries companies later returned to a new role: General Partners in YC.
As incoming partners, June and Andrew have already had a huge impact, working with hundreds of founders in several batches. Now, as a full -time general partner, they will play a bigger role in selecting, giving advice and helping these companies.
They bring deep technical experience, a strong track record to help early -stage companies grow.
June is a co -founder and former CTO of Future Advisor (YCS 10), one of the first Robo Advisors to make standard investment management accessible to a wider consumer. Following the company’s acquisition through the Black Arc in 2015, June continued to lead the product and engineering by building an enterprise grade robbee advisor platform for major financial institutions. Its background provides it with unique skills in creating a B2B platform for high -confident consumer products and regulated industries.
Andrew founded a joint venture of Pijirdi (YCS10, NYSE: PD), which became the backbone of digital operations for thousands of businesses. As founder CTO, it designed the original product and its high availability architecture, and scored 70+ people to the engineering team. After the Pijardi, he became an early stage investor in the capital of the S28, assisted companies like clerk, Capt. And Teleport. Andrew brings deep experience in constructing flexible systems and scaling engineering teams by zero.
At the YC, we always find ways to meet the needs of the founders. The inclusion of June and Andrew to our team reinforces our technical leaders’ benchs who have created sustainable companies-and who know what is needed to transform early-phase ideas into a changing thing to the world.
We are fortunate to get them, and our founders will be even more lucky.
