This Week at YC: Request for Climate Tech Startups

This Week at YC

December 19, 2022

🌎 Join us in the fight against climate change

At YC, we believe founders and startups can make a positive impact on climate change and support the transition to a sustainable future. Here are a few ideas that we hope inspires founders to pursue what we believe is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to make a lasting impact.


📈 Business models that build winners

One of the most common topics that founders ask us about is pricing and monetization. YC Group Partner Aaron Epstein outlines 9 different business models, and highlights lessons from the top YC companies on how to best monetize and price your product.
