Today I sit down with my friend Alex Danilowicz (https://x.com/alexdanilo99) who is a YC-backed founder with his startup Magic Patterns: http://magicpatterns.com?utm_source=yatb-yt

We sit down and have an honest conversation of what it's like for him to build a business as a VC/YC-backed founder vs myself who is a bootstrapped founder. We talk about the similarities and differences in our process and what it's like to raise money and go through Y Combinator.
