How to Apply and Succeed at Y Combinator
Dalton Caldwell

Dalton Caldwell explains why founders should apply to Y Combinator and how to make an application clear, complete, and easy to understand. He recommends showing who is building the product, evidence the team can build it, and concrete progress, while following the application and video instructions. He describes YC interviews as short conversations focused on founders’ grasp of their business, numbers, plans, and challenges, rather than adversarial tests. He also advises applicants to treat rejection and feedback as opportunities to improve, and warns against relying on networking or predatory advisors.
