EVENT DETAILS |
Every year, thousands of startups apply to Y Combinator, hoping to join the ranks of alumni like Dropbox, Airbnb, Stripe, & Reddit. But the application process is tough - 99% of applicants don't get in.
Those startups that get accepted join a unique & powerful accelerator. They get into a 3 month program that helps many of them change the trajectory of their business. They work with experts & startup veterans to develop their product, sharpen their vision, & hone their marketing strategy prep for the acclaimed YC demo day.
For many, the most valuable part of YC is the community of alumni they join. A community which by the way includes Bulletin, Burrow, Cleanly, REZI, Paperspace, WayUp, & The Lobby... the founders of which have joined us on previous Stacklist panels.
Thinking about applying? Then join us on February 20th as Y Combinator alumni share their advice on the application process, & what to expect before, during, & after the intensive 3-month program.
