I’m writing this post because I’m frequently asked what going through Y Combinator (YC) is like. First, going through YC is a Silicon Valley stamp of approval. I believe YC is one of the best investors in the world. If you can have them on your cap table, you should. I also know just how helpful the YC community is—even outside of startups, as I’ll highlight below.
Thanks a lot for sharing this, Clayton! As someone whose dream is to get the Sillicon valley experience and YC’s stamp of approval, it’s refreshing to hear how life doesn’t get easier (and actually harder) during/ after YC.

I’m glad you found your coaches!
