yc startup school is just a 2-day sprint, but the conversations that happen there can change the trajectory of your startup for years to come that's the part they don't put in the flyer

.Victor Cardenas Codriansky of Slash ($370M+): San Francisco is the best place in the world to build a tech company. Borrowing from Paul Graham’s essay on how cities shape and reward ambition, when a city consistently rewards builders, it naturally becomes a magnet for ambitious people. Over time, this shared mindset creates an environment where grueling 15 hour days and going the distance to build world class products are encouraged and reinforced.

Designing the new Y Combinator website with Aaron Epstein and Garry Tan was a dream come true. I viscerally believe YC is one of the most iconic and impactful brands in the world, and having the chance to help shape how it shows up in the world was an honor.
