YC Library
The new hub for YC's startup videos, essays, podcasts & more
We’ve overhauled the YC Library to make it easier to find the latest videos, essays, and podcasts from around Y Combinator, and to help you explore some of the best YC content from over the years. Come learn how to make something people want.
I have come across several statements such as: a single person cannot raise money on their own (you need to be in a team of at least 2 people), it is not worth it because there is pressure on you, etc.
What is your experience with raising money?
What did it give you, and who did you raise it from?
What do you think helped you to a large extent to get the raise?
credit the program with transformational guidance and momentum, calling it the best accelerator and a life-changing experience. Broader users praise the community, practical resources like essays, videos, and SAFEs, and a network that empowers rather than hand-holds. A few ask for more support for non-admitted startups. Overall: an elite launchpad with unmatched alumni access, clear frameworks, and durable founder confidence.
