Nat Robinson is from New Zealand, and grew up there the first half of his life. He finds that growing up in a small island nation gives him a unique perspective in the world. He currently lives in San Francisco with a young family, and loves doing water sports when he is not working - including surfing, sailing, and the opposite winter sports, snowboarding and such. He likes Santa Cruz for surfing, and typically prefers inland snowboarding.

While working at Microsoft, post the acquisition of his prior company, he started attempting to solve a problem for himself - around storing legal documents. What he discovered was that families were struggling with an overload of information, and how to keep it readily available and organized.

ReleaseHub provides on-demand environments for development, staging, and production. Every developer knows that environments can be a bottleneck, so ReleaseHub’s mission is to empower developers to share their ideas with the world more quickly and easily, sidestepping what Tommy calls “the big bottlenecks in development.”

As CTO of TrueCar, Tommy was leading an effort to rebuild that company’s tech stack, but he needed an environment management platform, and nothing on the market fit his needs. The homegrown environment management system he developed with his cofounders would become ReleaseHub.

Tommy joined Y Combinator in 2009.

Today we’re shouting out the winner of an Inquisitive Badge: L-Samuels asked a well-received question on 30 separate days and maintained a positive question record.

Dan Draper is from South Australia, specifically Adelaide, but his family now lives in Sydney. Interestingly, he does not drink Fosters beer (which is not surprising), and doesn't know what a blooming' onion is. Outside of tech, he has been a life long martial artist, and continues to compete in several forms today. He finds that there is overlap between coding and martial arts, as they are very technical, require a lot of solo focus, and... jokingly, you have to be ready to take a beating.

Five years ago, Dan got the idea of his current venture while he was the CTO at Expert360. During his time there, he was approached by his clients as they demanded proof of how his organization was protecting their data. He was never fully satisfied with the answers they gave the clients. He desired bridge the worlds between encrypted data, and queryable information.

Mark Bergen is a Bloomberg reporter and author of Like, Comment, Subscribe: Inside YouTube's Chaotic Rise to World Domination. The book releases next week and Bergen joins to preview what's inside, delivering a wide range of insights on YouTube's battle with TikTok, its algorithmic programming, and its appeal (and peril) for kids.
