At Together Toronto, Devon Galloway, Co-Founder & CTO of Vidyard (YC S11) and General Partner at Garage Capital, shares lessons from his Y Combinator journey that shaped both his founder mindset and his investing philosophy.

Devon reflects on what YC gets right about building companies, how those early principles carried through Vidyard’s growth into a category-defining SaaS company, and how he now applies the same thinking when backing early-stage startups across hundreds of investments.

This talk is a must-watch for founders navigating scale, investors thinking long-term, and anyone curious about how YC lessons compound over time.
