Y Combinator (YC) is a legendary startup accelerator that gives founders $125k for 7% equity and puts them through an intense 3-month program full of mentorship, networking, and weekly growth check-ins. The big highlight is Demo Day, where startups pitch to top investors, often unlocking even more funding and epic connections. YC’s model is all about investing early, helping startups grow fast, and cashing in when those startups hit it big—over 5,000 companies have gone through YC, including unicorns like Airbnb and Stripe, and the alumni network is a huge bonus for ongoing support and advice. 🚀 Would you like to pitch your idea in front of YC and see how far you could go????
