🟧 Meet the YC Summer 2023 Batch

"My first YC Demo Day was in summer of 2008," writes Garry, "where my startup and twenty-one others anxiously pitched a room full of investors on what we’d been working so hard to build."

"Fifteen years later, I’m here as YC’s president kicking off our 37th Demo Day — the one celebrating the Summer 2023 batch. I’ve seen a lot of batches in the last decade and a half, and I can say without a doubt: this is a good one. It’s one of the strongest YC batches ever."
