In Episode 03, we sit down with Brandon Moak, founder of Embark Trucks.He dropped out of Waterloo at 19 to build self-driving trucks. By 24, he'd taken the company public at a $5 billion valuation.He shares what it was like getting into YC with a self-driving golf cart and raising $30M from Sequoia, then the shift when the markets collapsed and he was burning $25M a quarter with no clear way forward.This is not a story about the wins. It's about being young and responsible for hundreds of people and not knowing if you'll make it.If you're building something uncertain, this one's for you.
