Product placement

YC STARTUP SCHOOL: appears as a banner and on a chalkboard, it is an event for startups. Removing it would not change what happens in the video. Claude's plan: mentioned as something someone made. It is not clear what Claude's plan is or if it is a product. Removing it would not change what happens in the video.

Going to a tech startup party in SF (making friends edition) I'm currently on the way to a YC party and I'm lowkey really nervous because I don't know anyone but we'll see how it goes bart time YC STARTUP SCHOOL arrived! YC SUS WELCOME! FOOD, SWAG, MORE!! meeting so many cool people guys I just met the guy who made Claude's plan can I be famous now & startup demos post game interview I'm on I'm bussing back right now but oh my god I was shaking walking in because I was so nervous but it's so easy to meet new people to connect with new people and I think going to events like these just remind you how social you can be and I know it can be scary cause we get into our head sometimes thinking like I'd I'm afraid of coming off as too anxious but it's so much better to just put yourself out there than staying at home so this event was a success it was so awesome I love meeting all the new people and I can't wait to go to more uh

I was visiting my college friends in SF this weekend & found it out was YC startup school so I decided to crash some after parties 😛 I WAS SO ANXIOUS entering the room because i was so scared about being awkward. But I think going to events like these just show me how fun networking can really be. All you have to really do is introduce yourself, asked a lot of questions, and pls don’t take take your LinkedIn out 😦 #ycschool #meetingnewpeople #makingfriends
