Hi PH! I’m Cat, and I’m one of the engineers that worked on the YC library, alongside @katherine_bernstein. We’re excited to show you the reimagined YC Library! We first launched the Library in 2020, and it has proven to be a tremendous resource since; much of the stuff in there has been viewed hundreds of thousands or millions of times. With this redesign, it’s much easier for founders to keep up with our growing lineup of new video series and and for future founders to explore the wealth of content we’ve made over the years. The new Library will always be growing — as we release new content, as we expand its archives of prior releases, and as we continue to build out its functionality. If you have any ideas for things we should add to the library, let us know in the comments!

Thanks for launching this! Much easier that scouring the internet for every single YC bit of advice! We at Clustr will definitely make use of this on our next application🤩

@rajiv_ayyangar very "YouTube". Is this a @garrytan influence?

Everything a founder need! Appreciate y’all for making it even more accessible 🙏🏼

@5harath appreciate ya for all the support!
Sharath Kuruganty
@svkpham for sure. Also, I started a show called YC Founder Stories. After advising many YC founders, I observed that they all wanted to pay it forward, so I started this show to narrate their stories and help founders who want to get into YC.

Among other things, very impressive that this was made by two cool C/Kats and posted by a third, presumably also cool, Kat.
Steven Pham
@drew_bailey they’re truly the best teammates you could ever ask for.

@drew_bailey we are the clowder trio 🐱
