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

Y Combinator was the first to give us a definitive yes, which was a turning point for us, as we felt validated and motivated to continue our journey.

Joining Y Combinator turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made, especially as we faced severe financial challenges before receiving their support. Starting and running a company as a founder can be a very lonely experience, where you often feel responsible for everyone's future and only you know the reality of the low times.

When I applied to Y Combinator, I didn't have high hopes, but I believed in my idea and was invited for an interview, which was a turning point for me.

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.

We were initially hesitant to apply to Y Combinator, but an advisor encouraged us to go for it, leading to an unexpected interview and acceptance.

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

Stripe never formally went through Y Combinator, but YC invested in us, which helped us connect with a community of entrepreneurs.

If you're considering applying to Y Combinator, just do it; the experience could change your life, as it did for us.
