Now that Y Combinator demo day is over, I'd highly recommend reading Sam Altman’s essay on the “Post-YC Slump”.

In it, he shares a few reasons why companies slow down after the insanely fast growth of YC.

The key idea: they get distracted by fake work. This includes things…

Today is day 80 and the end of YC.
Final results:

- MRR +4100%
- Daily automation runs +650%
- Finally feel confident saying we’re making something people love

Legitimately sad Y Combinator is over but grateful it happened. So excited for what’s next.

Going for another 80

The YC space in SF is gorgeous. Seriously feels like the center of startup gravity for the whole industry.

My mom worked low wage two jobs my entire childhood: as a nurse assistant by night and home health aide by day.

Home health aides like my mom spent hours per day just filling out paperwork.

But now with AI that time becomes MINUTES, and that makes a huge difference for…

Really excited for this partnership with one of the most forward looking companies in the world! The time is now 💪

Congrats to the companies presenting at Demo Day!

YC has been such an incredible part of my life. The school I attended instead of college. A community that had my back since age 19. The only org I’ve worked for apart from my own

I’m just one of thousands. Thanks Y Combinator!

Happy demo day to those who celebrate! Today is my 6th demo day working at YC and every time I am inspired by all of the incredible founders working to change the world.

Today, we're kicking off our 38th Demo Day — featuring founders from over 240 startups, building across a variety of verticals, including B2B/enterprise, fintech, healthcare, consumer, climate, and more.

Two years ago, the entire world saw the real sense of our fight. Including those for whom, unfortunately, it was 'just one more war'. They have seen what this war really is. And that Ukraine defends not only its state borders and sovereignty, but everything that makes people…

We have a fair chance of avoiding catastrophic climate change if startups offer commercial solutions to decarbonize society or remove carbon from the atmosphere.

At YC, we want to support more climate tech founders working on this once-in-a-generation opportunity. Gustaf Alströmer

2 years ago, this event convinced me to apply to YC.

6 months ago, I shared my experience to a room of students and many joined the next YC batch.

Now, all YC partners are coming to Boston - if you're even remotely interested in startups, don't miss it.

Watched an SUV blow through a fully red light while biking our daughter to school today. There were 12+ kids/parents waiting to cross.

Anyone fighting self-driving cars needs to really examine their thinking.

Last time YC visited the Boston area, Jared Friedman and Diana dropped by MIT to do a talk. YC ended up funding 10% of the students who were in that room.

I wonder how many millions of minutes of productivity were lost in productivity from this pointless…

Congratulations, Donald. Quite the accomplishment.

One of the companies in the current Y Combinator batch is built on Vapi - they got up and running and into production in a few days.
