Here is an overview of what happens during the YC program and the benefits you get as a YC founder. You can read more about why you should apply to YC&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ycombinator.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>YC hosts two 3-month programs \u2014 one from January through March, and one from June through August. Here\u2019s what happens during the 3 months of YC:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-dominant-color=\"895b4e\" data-has-transparency=\"true\" style=\"--dominant-color: #895b4e;\" loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"575\" src=\"https:\/\/solareyesinternational.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Y-Combinator-Startups-on-Clean-Energy-and-Sustainability-1024x575.png\" alt=\"Y COMBINATOR is Hiring! Check and Apply to join this wonderful and innovative company\" class=\"has-transparency wp-image-10400\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Y COMBINATOR is Hiring! Check and Apply to join this wonderful and innovative company<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Goal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The overall goal of YC is to help startups really take off. They arrive at YC at all different stages. Some haven\u2019t even started working yet, and others have been launched for a year or more. But whatever stage a startup is at when they arrive, our goal is to help them to be in dramatically better shape 3 months later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For most startups, better shape translates into two things: to have a better product with more users, and to have more options for raising money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ufeff<a href=\"https:\/\/solareyesinternational.com\/programme-officer-climate-finance-unv-thailand-open-to-international-applicants\/\">Programme Officer, Climate Finance \u2013 UNV Thailand \u2013 open to international applicants<\/a><span data-rich-text-placeholder=\"Type \/ to choose a block or \/\/ to use Content AI\" contenteditable=\"false\" style=\"pointer-events:none;user-select:none;-webkit-user-select:none;-moz-user-select:none;-ms-user-select:none;\"><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Startups at all stages benefit from the intensity of YC. That\u2019s probably the best word to describe the atmosphere. For 3 months, it\u2019s all startup, all the time. Everyone around you\u2014us, the other founders in your batch, the alumni, the speakers, the investors\u2014wants to help your startup succeed. In that atmosphere it\u2019s hard not to be highly motivated. And that kind of extraordinary motivation is what one needs to do something as difficult as starting a startup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many founders describe the 11 weeks leading up to Demo Day as the most productive period in their lives. Though YC continues after the 3 month cycle, and the alumni community is an increasingly valuable resource, those 11 weeks are still the most important thing. You can\u2019t make people something they\u2019re not, but the right conditions can bring out the best in them. And since most people have way more potential than they realize, they\u2019re often surprised by what they\u2019re capable of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Funding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>YC&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ycombinator.com\/deal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">invests<\/a>&nbsp;$500,000 in every company on standard terms. Our $500K investment is made on 2 separate safes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>We invest $125,000 on a post-money safe in return for 7% of your company (the \u201c$125k safe\u201d)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>We invest $375,000 on an uncapped safe with a Most Favored Nation (\u201cMFN\u201d) provision (the \u201cMFN safe\u201d)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Groups<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the batch, startups are sorted into 4 groups. Each group is led by group partners who advise the founders in one-on-one and group office hours. Each group is split into 12-14 sections (6-10 companies), so that founders get the benefit of an intimate setting within the larger batch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Office Hours<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Much of what takes place at YC happens during office hours. Group partners host group office hours every two weeks and one-on-one office hours as often as founders want. What startups talk about at office hours depends on the stage of the company and where they are in the YC cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Y_COMBINATOR_is_Hiring_Check_and_Apply_to_join_this_wonderful_and_innovative_company\"><\/span>Y COMBINATOR is Hiring!
