A former Y-Combinator batch director's best advice for new people leaders

October 11, 2021 • Season 1 • Episode 11

Amy Buechler has worked with thousands of the world’s best startup founders as Y Combinator’s first Batch Director and only embedded Founder Coach. Founders are often in an awkward position to not only build their companies but quickly transition to people-leaders as they start to hire and grow their teams.

In this episode, we discuss some of the common challenges her clients face and muse about why millennials have a unique opportunity as we begin to step up as leaders in the workplace.

Before joining YC, she became a licensed psychotherapist and saw clients in private practice in San Francisco (CA LMFT #125743). Since leaving YC in Jan 2019, Amy has worked with over 600 venture-backed, rapidly-scaling founding teams.
