YC application — anyone going through it now?
Applying to YC W26. Would love to connect with others in the same boat for mock interviews and feedback.

Applying to W26 too! Would be great to do mock interviews together. The YC interview format is brutal if you haven't practiced — 10 minutes, very fast questions.
The most important thing is being able to explain what you do in one sentence. Not two sentences. One. Practice that obsessively.
Ben — any tips on the application itself? The 'describe your company in 50 words' is killing me.
Also: the video matters more than people think. YC partners watch hundreds of them. Be direct, look at the camera, and don't use slides. Just talk.
I went through S24. Happy to do a mock interview session with anyone applying to W26. DM me in the WhatsApp group.
