It's time to build. In this ep of the Lightcone, we dive deep into the major trends from the most recent batch of YC using data we've never shared publicly before. It's a glimpse into what might be the most exciting moment to be a startup founder ever. youtu.be/e1Yhs9BEOSw

During YC I push Hard Tech companies to think like a software company. That means moving fast and not spending much money to prove you're making something people want. We talk about how this works surprisingly well in our latestLightcone episode: youtu.be/erDE2e69dlc?si…
Microsoft's latest credential leak is a stark reminder that companies, big and small, continue to face significant risks managing secrets across their development cycle 🧵
Finding high quality data lets you use both less data and compute to train a foundation model. @sdianahu explains how @getmetalware did this by scanning textbooks and using GPT2.5 to build a co-pilot for hardware design.
Biggest reflection from finishing YC is that there’s something very very powerful in being surrounded by people taking their co from 0->0.5 I’m convinced that the worst part about being an inexperienced founder is everything feels more daunting than it should be. Pivoting feels…

we almost gave up on building fume. we were looking to pivot, convinced that we were not cut out for the job. hearing our name mentioned in the lightcone podcast put the biggest of smiles on my face and i wanted to write about why i think YC is truly special for every founder.
"building a startup is like eating glass and staring into the abyss." YC instills founders with a motivation to keep chewing for the rest of their life. we definitely felt that and spent countless sleepless nights to get that demo together. so, i cannot thank our group partners…
With fume.dev you can ask your AI software engineer to fix bugs while your self-driving taxi takes you to the office. Imagine saying that to yourself 12 months ago.

At YC, we work with founders throughout the life of their startup and beyond, to build the world-changing companies of the future. And we'd love to work with you. The deadline to apply for YC Summer 2024 is Monday, April 22 at 8pm PDT — apply today at ycombinator.com/apply.
Today is the deadline to apply for Y Combinator. ycombinator.com/apply. 17 years ago, I was sitting with my co-founders Marie and Pelle (and later Michael) in our freezing New York apartment crafting our YC application. The first sentence of our application still makes sense…
Dropping out of Harvard and joining @ycombinator to build @BrainbaseHQ (W24) has been one of the best decisions I've made in life so far, up there with moving to US. If you're still on the fence, do it, apply to S24.
