YC Score

Every batch, many founders get rejected due to basic application mistakes, missing key criteria that YC partners explicitly look for. We learned this the hard way, which is why we built YC Score. Simply upload your draft PDF or fill out our YC-mirrored form. Our AI analyzes your responses against 25 critical factors that can make or break your application, from technical credentials to market validation. For instance, when YC partner Dalton Caldwell notes that teams with technical founders have "5x better odds," you need to know before submitting. YC Score flags these deal-breakers and shows you how to fix them, drawing from YC partners' insights, successful founders' experiences, and official YC guidance. We initially built YC Score for ourselves. While it's still evolving, it helps teams avoid costly mistakes. Help us make it better by sharing your feedback :)

Awesome... curious what score can Deepseek get :) Btw what about a ProductHunt score next?

Looks interesting! But how does YC Score compare to real YC partner feedback? Curious to see how accurate and insightful the scoring really is!

Haha, that video and the founder's comments were hilarious! 😂 Now I know why I'll be failing the Spring batch! 😅

Just wow! 🤯 Tested this, and it gave me crazy spot-on feedback! It flagged key points we had heated debates about among the co-founders. Now I finally have the high ground to push for the changes I believed in for our YC application. 😎 I regret finding this 4 days before the deadline of YC 🫠. Still, super impressed. Major props to the team! 👏👏

This tool is very useful. Does the feedback come from actual YC partners or is it based on insights from previous applications?

This is an amazing resource. How quickly can founders expect to receive their feedback after submitting their application?
