Y Combinator
Y Combinator (YC) is a startup accelerator that runs a three‑month program four times a year. Founders from all stages—pre‑seed to post‑seed—join a cohort, receive mentorship, funding, and access to a vast alumni network. The program culminates in Demo Day, where startups pitch to investors. The site offers navigation to apply, learn about the interview guide, explore alumni companies, and access resources such as the Startup School, SAFE agreements, and a co‑founder matching tool.
