At YC’s Startup School conference this year with Paul Graham and Sam Altman, one of the consistent themes was that this is the best time in the last 20 years to start a company.
To better serve founders given the rapid rate of technological change, YC recently switched from two to four batches per year.
The Winter 2025 batch will run from January to March, and applications are due on November 12.
Many of the famous YC companies applied last minute, right before the deadline, with little more than an idea. So if you think you’re “too early”, you’re probably not, and you have nothing to lose by applying.
To apply, please submit an application by Tuesday, 11/12 @ 8PM PT.
