As side projects, he has built two other balancing vehicles: a two-wheeled balancing scooter similar to the Segway but with different steering, and the self-balancing Eunicycle. Several hobbyists have built vehicles based on the open design of the machine. Open design is the application of Open source methods to the creation of physical products machines and systems
Together with Paul Graham, Robert T. Morris and Jessica Livingston he founded Y Combinator in 2005. Paul Graham (born 1964 is a Programmer, Venture capitalist and Essayist, known for his work on Lisp.
