Y Combinator's Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) will start in early April and run through early June, aiming to replicate the YC experience for participants.

We were accepted into Y Combinator, which was a significant milestone for us and changed the course of our company.

We're offering both in-person attendance and a live stream, along with a massively open online course (MOOC) format to reach a wider audience.

Remote operations have allowed Y Combinator to widen its net, enabling startups from around the world to participate without relocating to Silicon Valley.

During Y Combinator, we focused on building strong relationships with our first 100 customers, doing things that don't scale to ensure they loved our service.

When we decided to join Y Combinator, we were already profitable and saw it as an opportunity to scale our team and improve our fundraising efforts.

The Y Combinator experience was invaluable; the community of motivated individuals and guidance from partners like Paul Graham helped us stay on course and saved us years of effort.

After Y Combinator, we raised a Series A and had to adapt our processes as we hired more people, which is an ongoing challenge as we grow. Building a distributed team wasn't intentional at first; it was a necessity to find engineers, which led to organic growth and advantages like hiring from anywhere in the world.

Getting into Y Combinator was a turning point for us, as it validated our idea and pushed us to fully commit to the startup.
