I've had it all:

A SaaS for freelancers... that I never had time to finish because I'm a freelancer.

A revolutionary AI tool that I abandoned as soon as GPT-4 came out.

And the famous "anti-social media social network" (spoiler: it was just me).

I buy a domain name → I code for 3 all-nighters → I lose interest → I start again.

My Google Domains look like a graveyard of unfinished dreams.

But honestly, I've never learned so much, nor enjoyed it so much.

And one day, I might release one that takes off. Or not. But I'll be ready.

I would appreciate your help and thoughts on -

1. Finding ideas that are YC scale. Ideas that are good enough to be accepted by YC.

2. Where to find these people for reaching out? I know Apollo and LinkedIn is buzzing. Since most of my network is fellow employees I don’t know how to reach out to decision makers.

3. If there are such groups, where do I meet them? I am in far east side of. Washington without major tech activity.
