YC Founders Dinner – Hosted by JustPaid & Sponsored by CLA
What happens when you get a group of YC founders together over great food and big ideas? You get an unforgettable night of connection, insight, and insider tips that could shape the future of your startup.
Join us for an exclusive dinner just for Y Combinator alumni, hosted by Daniel Kivatinos — Co-founder & CEO of JustPaid.ai (YC W23), two-time YC founder, and co-founder of DrChrono (YC W11), one of YC’s top exits — along with Stephen G. Estes, CPA from CLA (CliftonLarsonAllen LLP), a national accounting and finance firm that knows startups inside and out.
📍 Location: Waterfront venue near Y Combinator HQ, San Francisco
📅 When: Thursday, April 17th @ 6 PM PST
Come mix, mingle, and mastermind with fellow YC founders over a delicious dinner on the San Francisco waterfront.
What you’ll take away (besides a full stomach):
• Unfiltered YC insights: Hear how Daniel has seen YC evolve across two decades — and what every founder should know now.
• Financial frameworks for real growth: CLA’s Stephen Estes, CPA, will break down QSBS, budgeting, audit-readiness, and how to run your startup like a future unicorn from day one.
• Growth with integrity: Learn how JustPaid.ai is scaling smart, and what second-time founders do very differently.
• Roundtable conversations with real founders: No panels. No fluff. Just candid conversations with other YC alumni, swapping stories and strategy.
JustPaid.ai is organizing this dinner. CLA is sponsoring it. You’re bringing the magic.
This isn’t a conference. It’s not a pitch night. It’s a rare opportunity to pull up a chair with people who’ve been in the same trenches — and get smarter, faster.
⚠️ Only 22 seats. YC founders from any batch are welcome — but spots will go fast. If you want in, don’t wait.

Daniel Kivatinos – Co-founder & CEO, JustPaid.ai (YC W23, YC W11 alum)
