Don't let stupid mistakes kill your YC Spring 2025 dreams. Get partner-informed scoring and feedback for your application.

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 :)

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

How do you compare the old applications with the new ones? Are you applying to YC with this yourself?

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

I love the concept. Do you analyze past successful applications or is it more of a subjective evaluation?

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

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