Very interesting!

Apply, you lose nothing. And apply again once you get more progress. There is no ideal stage, but they'll fund the most promissing of them. The more your startup grows and the more…

I know it's a sensitive topic, but it would be so interesting if he could talk candidly about the co-founder relationship issues at Paypal, with PT and Max. His bio is very vague a…

There's close to 110 companies in the current batch, that just had demo day last week.

Paul Graham (and Trevor and Robert) founded a company, Viaweb, that was sold to Yahoo for close to $50M in 1998. Like Jessica said, they invested $12k per company in the first batc…

What Jessica has done in YC is an amazing example of how to build great culture in a Startup (and YC was and still is, in several ways, a startup!). It's a challenge, but I believe…

Both seem so different, what are your goals? If you want to be a teacher or hold a research or Engineering position at a more research driven corporation, and get a confortable lif…

I imagine it must be hard to get a slot with him nowadays, right? We just got accepted into YC. Wondering if we'll ever be able to meet him. I feel like a teenage boy going to the …

Yes, I was wrong, sorry, I guess it feels like it happened ages ago...

A few days ago, I asked if PG was still doing YC interviews (the right answer is no). When he handled YC over to Sam Altman (in 2012) he said he would still be holding office hours…

I think he productized it... :)

Thanks! It was not easy for us, it's actually the 3rd time we apply and we have a LOT of traction... First time we're invited to the interview. Most south americans I see being sel…

Thanks! We didn't apply late, but had to take a late interview to be able to get a Visa on time for a co-founder that didn't have one. Sure, we're like a "Booking.com for Colleges"…

We needed this letter for a founder who didn't have a VISA before we're invited... It's very simple and brief, one page, just says my co-founder was invited to an interview for fun…

I know he is no longer involved in the day-to-day YC operation, but is he still on one of the interview "tracks" himself? How much does he still participate in the Startup selectio…

I'm not Sam, but I'm a Brazilian enterpreneur. The bad side of Brazil, compared to SV, is we have way less capital available to fund startups, specially earlier and more innovative…

I would get the Visa right away. I got a B1/B2 (tourism and business). I just showed my application form and the interview dates and it was enough. At least here (Brazil) the hole …

There is always a way... I have a wife, 4 dogs and a 60 employee company to take care of, in another continent, and would definitely take the opportunity without blinking... The fa…

Look at what specific YC companies do, so you can infer what they might need... Lots of founders have blogs, Twitter, etc, and will speak their minds up out there. If you think you…

I'm from Brazil, my startup has 60 employees, and I would gladly stay in SV for 3 months if approved... If nothing else, it acts as a filter of "will power" and dedication for the …
