Applying to YC and joining the W21 batch has been one of the best decisions in our journey at R2.

Working with our group partners Brad Flora &. Aaron Epstein allowed us to make some of the best possible product & fundraising decisions early on.

Before we applied to Y Combinator, many folks said Jack and I were 'too old' for it. They were well meaning, but never has worse advice been given. Our Group Partners Brad Flora and Puneet Kumar accelerated us on product, sales, and even now on hiring. 10/10. Just apply.

I went to Y Combinator Startup School in 2013 and the shot of adrenaline I got from meeting hundreds of other founders and soaking in startup stories was unmatched. I’m excited to help give the same experience to founders in 2024! Let’s go.

Backstage at Y Combinator Startup School East!

We’ve got the entire YC partnership here telling some amazing stories.

What a privilege to meet students and future founders at Y Combinator Startup School here in Boston. Surbhi Sarna just shared her founder story.

41% of recent YC founders worked at a YC company as employees before starting their own company.

Yesterday we wrapped up the W24 batch. We did a lot of things for the first time this batch.

Here were the high points for me ...

Meet the new (knockoff) hosts of the Y Combinator Lightcone podcast.

Here talking about pivot hell, tarpit ideas, and talking to users.

When you've made a product people love, often your business has built up potential energy. When you figure out how to tap it, you get results like these.

We kind of have to accelerate here

Thanks Y Combinator for sharing our story! Really cool to make it on the pod and get a shutout from Garry Tan, Harj Taggar and Jared Friedman

And thanks to the partners that supported us during the batch - Michael Seibel and Brad Flora

This code review startup from YC W24 is getting great buzz from other founders because of how well it actually works Ellipsis (YC W24)

The video embedded on their website explains it pretty well ellipsis.dev

There's a W24 startup whose customers love their product so much that 3 out of 5 invested.

Most YC startups have to balance growing the business against talking to investors around Demo Day. This company can just close more customers and get their round done at this rate.
