This Week at YC

July 24, 2023

📺 We've got a new series: Office Hours!

Our new series Office Hours brings all of YC's Group Partners together to discuss the startup topics that they know better than anyone else in the world. The first episode of Office Hours is all about pivots.

Pivots are frequently misunderstood. You might think that pivoting is something done only by the startups that don’t make it; in reality, many of the billion dollar companies you know and love today pivoted on the way to getting there.

Be on the lookout for another episode in just a few weeks!
