In this interview, I talk with Aditya Mehta, co-founder of Suggestr (YC W22) and we talk about his application to YC, how he met his co-founder, what they were trying to achieve, and why it ultimately had to shut down.
Aditya currently helps startups at their growth stage with his company https://cogitogroup.xyz/ He helps YC and non-YC companies grow their businesses, and his insight might be valuable to your own company.
