Y Combinator has grown to value its alumni network, which now includes over 2,000 members who are nurturing and trustworthy.

The best part of the Y Combinator network is the willingness of alumni to help each other, making it a supportive community for founders.

Y Combinator is not just an investment firm; it's a collection of people, both founders and partners, curated over the past decade.

Y Combinator is playing a significant role in funding young entrepreneurs in the biotech space, allowing them to advance their discoveries.

The alumni network is a powerful aspect of YC, with former founders returning to help and advise new startups.

The energy and enthusiasm of the community at Y Combinator is contagious, making it a great environment for founders and partners alike.

Before I was in Y Combinator, I didn't feel like I had that many founder friends, and it's incredible to have so many people at a similar point in their lives.

Recognizing the benefits of founders having colleagues, we decided to invest in batches, which has become a core part of YC's approach. At Y Combinator, we treat founders like family and prioritize their interests, fostering a strong sense of community even among over 2,000 alumni.

Founders who are excited about building and solving problems for users are still applying, and those not making fear-based decisions are more enthusiastic about joining Y Combinator.
