As part of the W21 batch I can confirm YC is the best thing that ever happened to our company

[JohnyArt]

YC is a great example of a startup in itself, especially YC's timing (+luck) - when more and more rich people realize that they are not able to grow their wealth with classic investments, in time of global crisises and total uncertainty even for ultra rich.

I applied last night. Remember folks: if you apply and you’re told no your life doesn’t get worse - there’s only something to gain. Go get it 👍

[mahamatadoum]

You inspire me a lot, I got accepted to Founder Institute, similar to YC, I love to have as investor in my company Garry. I learned a lot from YC startup school as well.

Applied about a week ago with my startup Digital Bites. 10.000km away, based in Greece, but who knows!

[ryanpmcguire]

Thanks for the encouragement. We’re stuck on the decision to either go with a VC or apply to YC. I’m going to submit the application tomorrow!

Very inspiring video! Thank you so much for creating this opportunity for start ups and for innovation! What you are doing is truly revolutionary. We look forward to having the privilege of being part of Y Combinator's 2023 summer program and joining your beautiful community. Good luck to everyone who applied!

I love watching YC videos and the videos Garry Tan made on his channel. It taught me a lot and inspired me to go further with more determination in working on my startup.

I love YC videos. I always get a lot of new knowledge each time
I watch YC videos

[peterbloomingdale]

These videos have been extremely helpful as a first time founder!

[AnthonyMunyi]

You'll see my application and I'm excited for what happens next. Thanks for the encouraging push 🙏🏾

[toofy]

I've been preparing to apply, but still waiting til I'm a super strong candidate. I'll provide a lot of insight into the dental field and into a huge cat community. Get ready!! We can change the world together. Thank you soo much for being a beacon of positive change and hope in a world that is pretty broken

The video would have been much better without the Hollywood-ian soundtrack.

[robertcolpos]

This channel is suitable for East European Market?

[foundational]

I have impression that it’s easier to win lottery than for 1st time founder to get into YC unless you’re from Stanford or some other US Ivy League university or u already achieved product market fit. So we think it’s waste of time spending hours for application to stand in queue of thousands of companies who will never get in instead on working on achieving product/market fit on your own.

Great video. We applied for S23. Hoping to hear back soon.
