Thinking about Y Combinator? Here’s the ultra-short cheat-sheet: 4 chances a year: YC now runs Winter, Spring, Summer & Fall batches—so there’s always an application window coming up. $500 k standard deal: $125 k for 7 % (post-money SAFE) plus $375 k on an uncapped MFN SAFE. Enough runway to find product-market fit without heavy dilution. 2025 “Requests for Startups”: YC is especially hungry for AI agents, climate tech, hard-science health, and ways to upskill the global workforce. If you’re building in these spaces, highlight it! Demo Day & alumni network: 9k+ founders, 3k+ active investors, and a brand that still opens doors. Apply early, write clearly, show real user love. That’s it. #YC #startups #MVP #fundraising
