🎓 Meet the YC Summer 2022 Batch
For the S22 batch, we received 19,000 applications from founders around the world and funded 240. This past week, we kicked off our 35th Demo Day — featuring founders from 34 countries and over 200 startups building in more than 100 verticals.

🌈 Optimism vs. Pessimism
Dalton and Michael discuss the qualities that make a founder overly optimistic or far too pessimistic about their startup. Where is the right middle ground?

👩🏽‍💻 Engineering culture at small startups vs. big tech companies — Sep 21
Join us for a live discussion with Y Combinator founders who previously worked in big tech. The founders will share their thoughts about the differences in engineering culture between small startups and FAANG/large companies (and why they decided to leave big tech to work on their own startup).
