View this email in your browser

 

☀️ Join the YC Internship Program - Summer 2022
There’s no better way to learn about startups than joining one yourself! At a startup, you’ll jump into real projects and work with founders to solve mission-critical problems. If you’re an undergraduate or graduate student, apply to join our summer 2022 cohort.

 

📺 Is Your Startup "Default Alive or Default Dead?"
This week, Dalton and Michael discuss Paul Graham's essay on the concept — and share strategies to cut your company's burn rate and keep your startup alive to see another day.
