My experience with Y Combinator was incredibly intense, creating a sense of urgency that is crucial for startup success.

Having my first customers in the YC batch was extremely helpful because I could get immediate feedback on my mobile app.

The recent YC batch was remarkable, showcasing the hard work and dedication of the founders, which is a key factor in their success.

The first YC dinners were a mix of fun and stress for founders, as they showcased their progress and ideas to peers.

Founders frequently share horror stories about their fundraising experiences before joining YC, highlighting the stark contrast in investor behavior and terms they encounter after participating in YC.

YC creates urgency from day one, which helps founders stay focused and productive, contrasting with the often unstructured nature of starting a company.

The YC application process emphasizes the importance of clearly expressing your startup idea to avoid missing out on opportunities.

During YC, we had many customers sign on, and we ensured regular touchpoints to gather feedback that benefited both our sales and product teams.

The first time we went through Y Combinator (YC), we wouldn't have made it without their support, and I felt the same way the second time.
