The YC alumni network grows more powerful over time, providing valuable connections and resources to new startups.

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

Having the support of the Y Combinator community is invaluable, as it connects you with other founders willing to collaborate and help each other out.

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

The supportive community at YC, where alumni and partners readily respond to inquiries, is a significant reason for its appeal.

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.

The collective wisdom of YC has grown immensely since the early days, making it far more effective in helping startups now than back then.

The YC co-founder matching platform helps people find co-founders by allowing them to upload profiles and connect with others looking to start a company.

The real value of Y Combinator lies in the peer network and the honest feedback from experienced founders, not just in the financial investment.
