Gratitude for David’s Generosity in his Pandora’s Box Gift for this Community

I have a confession: I’ve been living in a Y Combinator rabbit hole since early October. When I first decided that I was going to make something with AI, I wanted to do it right. So I began an intensive study of YC best practices and started.

My YC research is the sole reason I joined this group last week. When I saw David on Skool I instinctively knew this was going to be worth my time. I literally jumped in my chair at the opportunity to join here.

I have spent the past hour going through the list of the 200 business ideas that David posted so generously. What stood out to me is that he took the time to categorize difficulty level and time to a minimum viable product. That is a really thoughtful way to filter things for people.

It’s one thing to build a business; it’s another to show up so generously for strangers, offer real care in the comments, share a "Pandora’s Box" of 200 validated business ideas that have passed through David’s YC filter, all while balancing the things that matter most: family, friends, holiday togetherness.

David, you’re modeling a version of founder leadership that isn't just about the hustle—it’s about character. You’re choosing generosity over secrecy and investing in others you haven’t met.

Grateful for the extensive work you’re putting in and the example you’re setting for everyone in the Business Builders Club.

To the Stars 🚀
