Founders consume hours of content, learning foundational strategies and techniques from industry leaders including Paul Graham, Mark Zuckerberg, and Garry Tan.<\/p>\n<p>After watching copious amounts of the content himself, Menno Gravemaker knew he wanted his company\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/momomedical.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Momo Medical<\/a>\u00a0to apply. \u201cI would recommend the Youtube channel to any entrepreneur starting or already experienced,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>But Menno didn\u2019t actually fall down the proverbial rabbit hole until after visiting his cousin in Silicon Valley (where the Y Combinator programme takes place). The entrepreneurial energy and environment were unlike anything that existed in the Netherlands, and Menno knew he wanted to be part of it.<\/p>\n<p>Completing the accelerator programme is a huge mark of achievement for many founders. Household names like Dropbox and Airbnb are just two of their many graduates that have gone on to be successful.<\/p>\n<p>Menno watched hours of Y Combinator videos, gleaning the knowledge and inspiration from both founders and investors. He learned what they looked for, what excited them, and what previous participants recommended to upcoming founders. Meanwhile, he continued to grow his own company Momo Medical, and eventually decided he was ready to apply.<\/p>\n<p>Thousands of people apply every cycle (50,000 most recently), and only a handful (between 100 to 200) may be accepted. Founders may even apply numerous times for a chance to access the prestigious programme.<\/p>\n<p>Menno applied once.<\/p>\n<p>But after learning more about Momo Medical, it\u2019s easy to understand what\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ycombinator.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Y Combinator<\/a>\u00a0sees in the company.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-269ow1-ef1f159f3ed620be126516885511bb75\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-269ow1-ef1f159f3ed620be126516885511bb75{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-269ow1-ef1f159f3ed620be126516885511bb75 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-12  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_image '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-miihas-1b6f3569e00def2cacbb98e911ad7d52\">\n.avia-image-container.av-miihas-1b6f3569e00def2cacbb98e911ad7d52 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-miihas-1b6f3569e00def2cacbb98e911ad7d52 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-miihas-1b6f3569e00def2cacbb98e911ad7d52 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-13  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-2091 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-2091 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Momo-Medical-founder-menno-gravemaker.webp\" alt='Momo Medical founder Menno Gravemaker' title='Momo Medical founder menno gravemaker'  height=\"1038\" width=\"1600\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Momo-Medical-founder-menno-gravemaker.webp 1600w, https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Momo-Medical-founder-menno-gravemaker-300x195.webp 300w, https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Momo-Medical-founder-menno-gravemaker-1030x668.webp 1030w, https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Momo-Medical-founder-menno-gravemaker-768x498.webp 768w, https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Momo-Medical-founder-menno-gravemaker-1020x662.webp 1020w, https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Momo-Medical-founder-menno-gravemaker-1500x973.webp 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-ktdowk-8d4cf7ff79676a6f32b0ab6e9fe53a4e\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-ktdowk-8d4cf7ff79676a6f32b0ab6e9fe53a4e{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-ktdowk-8d4cf7ff79676a6f32b0ab6e9fe53a4e hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-14  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-ikkiys-1dd5c640e46ec14e93067f52687a030e '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>About Momo Medical<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>Momo Medical has designed a motion sensor for beds in nursing homes so that the night shift staff can accurately determine whether the movement is critical or normal.<\/p>\n<p>Normally, staff enter residents\u2019 rooms to check on them up to three times per night. But they won\u2019t just peak through the doorway. They need to enter the room, turn on the light, and verify that the resident is alive\u2026and now also awake.<\/p>\n<p>The old sensors that Momo Medical intends to replace can only detect movement. When they alert the staff, they don\u2019t know whether the resident has fallen or if they\u2019ve gotten out of bed to use the toilet. And that means the alarm is always urgent.<\/p>\n<p>The night shift is not just stressful for the staff, but it also leads to restless nights for residents.<\/p>\n<p>Momo Medical\u2019s sensors can provide a more accurate estimate of the motion\u2019s urgency. As a result, night staff can glance at a single screen and know exactly how the residents are resting. Plus, they have fewer false alarms, which means they can spend more time on tasks that require their attention.<\/p>\n<p>And while their technology has greatly improved the night shift\u2019s work, the sensors have also improved the well-being of the residents. Because they can now sleep through the night, they have more energy during the day and feel less agitated (a familiar feeling for many of us).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-77ybup-fbbbab7f9875538c452f313a9d5b792f\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-77ybup-fbbbab7f9875538c452f313a9d5b792f{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-77ybup-fbbbab7f9875538c452f313a9d5b792f hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-16  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_image '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lo2mg9cm-7a01c7531c1b7d4e243bede8305d4ab7\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lo2mg9cm-7a01c7531c1b7d4e243bede8305d4ab7 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lo2mg9cm-7a01c7531c1b7d4e243bede8305d4ab7 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lo2mg9cm-7a01c7531c1b7d4e243bede8305d4ab7 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-17  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-2212 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-2212 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Installing-the-motion-sensor-device-under-a-bed.webp\" alt='' title='Installing the motion sensor device under a bed'  height=\"534\" width=\"800\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Installing-the-motion-sensor-device-under-a-bed.webp 800w, https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Installing-the-motion-sensor-device-under-a-bed-300x200.webp 300w, https:\/\/techleap.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/10\/Installing-the-motion-sensor-device-under-a-bed-768x513.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-5er5e9-b29cddc2b0d11bbeb29caa4a1c5efd05\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-5er5e9-b29cddc2b0d11bbeb29caa4a1c5efd05{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-5er5e9-b29cddc2b0d11bbeb29caa4a1c5efd05 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-18  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lo2mh00d-a36ca4b50bc327c2393bbe7055c39310 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>What Makes Momo Medical Stand Out<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>There are a number of people Menno and his team could\u2019ve consulted or targeted with their technology: managing directors who want to run the nursing home more efficiently, the residents of the nursing home, or even the doctors who monitor the residents\u2019 health.<\/p>\n<p>But Momo Medical is designed to serve the night shift.<\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest mistakes founders make is designing a solution to a problem they think exists, but haven\u2019t really experienced themselves. Menno built Momo Medical based on what he experienced while shadowing the nurses on their night shifts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you build technology for someone else and, in principle, will not use it yourself because it is not your job, then it is very easy to make incorrect assumptions,\u201d Menno says.<\/p>\n<p>While the technology may provide a safer environment for the residents, the night shift staff are the ones who use it the most. And so the technology is designed with them in mind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2lcln5-05db52826d03b96afcd1938e4f20da75\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-2lcln5-05db52826d03b96afcd1938e4f20da75{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-2lcln5-05db52826d03b96afcd1938e4f20da75 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-20  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-2dp6ip-cb5a2d23fad46170461136f9fb5ac65b '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>The First Weeks at Y Combinator: Culture Shock<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>When Menno submitted an application form on the Y Combinator website, along with a 1-minute pitch video, he also had to grant them access to an online demo of the software. After that, they had a 10-minute interview, during which they asked him more about the business and his own ambitions with the company.<\/p>\n<p>Soon after that, they approved his application and invited him to join the Summer 2021 cohort.<\/p>\n<p>Since starting the 3-month programme earlier this summer, Menno has hit the ground running. Soon after arriving, he spoke with a number of nursing homes throughout the country for potential collaborations. And it didn\u2019t take much to convince them: some demo contracts were completed within just one week.<\/p>\n<p>That kind of quick decision-making doesn\u2019t often happen in the Netherlands. The fact that a US-based nursing home wanted to jump on the idea was an incredibly validating achievement.<\/p>\n<p>But that also leads to new challenges. For example, the beds in America are much bigger than those in the Netherlands. And when designing sensors that detect the urgency of movement, size really does matter.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, his team now has to produce training materials in English. From instruction manuals to training videos, everything is currently in Dutch.<\/p>\n<p>But this opportunity to learn from the most influential minds in Silicon Valley while establishing business in the US is truly a golden experience for budding entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div
