Impressive collection of embarrassingly young founder pictures :-)
A good remedy against lookism :)
Running a startup also ages people prematurely.

#113Just realizing that in more than a decade of perusing Hacker News, I may not have ever visited the homepage.

#114Great history, hopefully some of these successful founders will stay in the loop here for all us up and comings.

#116The design looks good. The quote is so kitch it could be on a self-help book. "YC turns builders into formidable founders" - and then a bs faux-definition of formidable.
If you ever met some of the founders in the pictures, you'd know it's not bs.

#117> YC turns builders into formidable founders.
This is followed by a series of before and after pictures. YC offers not money but personal transformation. Their standard offer of $500,000 for 7% is not mentioned on the homepage, maybe because it would invite comparison ... when you see numbers like this your first thought is: I wonder what other accelators offer? The before and after pictures are something no other accelator can compete with.

Love this quote

#119I noticed a photo of the Kalshi founders on the new homepage. I remember when Kalshi launched I thought it was so bad, and that those founders must be the very bottom of their class... they're billionaires now!

#120Looks cool, though I have to be honest that I'm not a big fan of showing only the survivor stories.
Meh. If your business fails, you basically got $500K in exchange for nothing. Still sounds to me like a good deal.
