Things Garry Tan ( CEO & Founder - Ycombinator ) taught me about rejection, scarcity, and building unstoppable leverage as a founder: ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡ Desperation kills momentum. When you need the deal or relationship too much, people sense risk, not ambition. Garry Tan was rejected by VCs and the Mayfield Fellows program. His friend Stephen Cohen, rejected at 16, co-founded Palantir ($300B+). Garry became CEO of Y Combinator. Rejection doesnโ€™t predict your futureโ€”it tests if youโ€™ll keep going. โ€œDesperation repels.โ€ Contentment attracts. You canโ€™t fake it. Real growth convinces. You donโ€™t need 100% certaintyโ€”just enough belief to act. Stop asking who to meet. Build something so good they come to you. Everything you need is already here. Ship it. Trust time.
