Surbhi has an incredibly compelling founder story. If I had to boil it down to one sentence I’d say: she turned a teenage cancer scare into a company that was eventually acquired for $275M by Boston Scientific. But what that short summary misses is the fact that she is a true <a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"http://paulgraham.com/guidetoinvestors.html/">cockroach. Despite hundreds of nos from investors and difficult clinical trials, she forged on, pivoted, and kept fighting until she succeeded.Surbhi has historically been a fairly private person (she just started a <a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://twitter.com/surbhisarnasf/">Twitter account</a> two weeks ago!). But soon, you’ll get to read more of her story and hear the tactical advice she learned along the way.You can pre-order the book <a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/without-a-doubt-surbhi-sarna/1141652335https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/without-a-doubt-surbhi-sarna/1141652335/">here through 1/27 at a 25% discount, and it’ll arrive in time for Women’s History Month.

Tracy first went through YC in Winter 2012 with her company PlanGrid, a construction software company that was sold to Autodesk for $875M. She joined YC as a Visiting Partner before launching her second company TigerEye. Tracy and Surbhi will talk about some of the themes that come up in <a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://www.amazon.com/Without-Doubt-How-Underrated-Unbeatable/dp/1982147903/">Without a Doubt</a> – from overcoming imposter syndrome, to building a team and company culture, and how to redefine “work-life balance”.<center>\n<a class=\"ycdc-retro-btn ycdc-retro-btn-gold mt-[-10px] ml-[13px]\" href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://apply.ycombinator.com/events/341/" style=\"text-decoration: none;\" title=\"title for your link\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up here for the YouTube Live link and a calendar reminder</a>\n</center><figure class=\"kg-card kg-image-card\"><a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://apply.ycombinator.com/events/342/">Reshma Shetty</a> and <a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://www.linkedin.com/in/jrkelly2//">Jason Kelly</a> - Founders of <a href=https://www.ycombinator.com/"https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/ginkgo-bioworks/">Ginkgo Bioworks</a> Reshma and Jason went through YC in the Summer of 2014 with Ginkgo Bioworks.
