YC Group Office Hours at CMU
Feb 7 – 1pm-4pm ET
Join YC partners Adora Cheung and Kevin Hale for group office hours. Group office hours are 45 minutes each and include up to four other teams. It’s a great way to meet other founders and listen/give feedback on each others’ biggest challenges. You’ll come to find that startups all face similar problems. Sign up here.

Y Combinator Startup School at CMU
Feb 7 – 6:30pm-8:30pm ET
CMU – Posner Hall, Room 152
Last summer, Y Combinator launched their most ambitious project to date: Startup School, a free online entrepreneurship class that taught over 10,000 teams from all over the world how to start a startup.

Join us for a talk by YC partners Adora Cheung and Kevin Hale, who’ll share a few of Startup School’s success stories and the most valuable lessons learned by the founders taking the classes.

They’ll also answer questions about how to evaluate good ideas, share the trends YC sees 6 months before anyone else, and what to work on at school if you’re thinking about starting your own billion dollar startup. Food and drinks will be served. RSVP via Handshake.
