Last year, for the first time, we taught a MOOC (massively open online course) for startup founders called Startup School. This year, we’re adding a new course called Startup Investor School which will teach the basics of seed (early) stage startup investing to anyone interested. Applications are open starting today.
Feb 1, 2018We are delighted to invite interested founders to apply to the YC Growth Program. The Growth Program is designed for companies with between 50 – 150 employees that are scaling rapidly. The deadline for application is February 23, 2018.
Jan 30, 2018In the last year, YC companies have raised over $550mm across 62 Series As. Near as we can tell, that’s the highest number in any portfolio anywhere in venture investing. We expect that number to go up each year as we fund more companies.
Jan 25, 2018This February, YC will be hosting office hours and talks in Boston, Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Seattle.
Jan 23, 2018Applications for YC Summer 2018 are now open. Here are some helpful resources if you’re thinking about applying.

Jan 16, 2018I’m excited to announce a new experiment we’re going to try: YC Bio. YC Bio is a new way for us to fund early-stage life science companies that are still in the lab phase.
