Landon has been the most helpful mentor I could ask for. I was thinking of applying to YCombinator + he urged me to take the leap while very thoroughly reviewing my application and providing extra support throughout the process. I would not be where I am in my career without consulting Landon on the big career decisions I'm making. I highly highly recommend him for anyone who is interested in startups / YC / tech / having a great career in general. He goes above and beyond to help in any way he can. I cannot thank him enough for what he's done for me.

I highly recommend Landon as a mentor for any entrepreneur looking to grow their startup. When I was overwhelmed with ideas and unsure about my project's direction, Landon helped me focus on one idea and test it with real data. He guided me to track key metrics and make data-driven decisions, which was invaluable. His advice on refining our ad campaigns and targeting the right audience made a big difference. He also shared his own experiences, helping me avoid common pitfalls like shiny object syndrome and the sunk cost fallacy.
