This Week at YC

April 7th, 2024

This week was Demo Day for the Winter 2024 batch! This is where all of the startups from the latest YC cohort get to show an audience of the world's best investors what they’ve been building.

Nearly everything about YC is constantly being iterated upon — even when things are working, we try to find ways to make them better. Demo Day is no exception.

The big new thing this time: while the Demo Day presentations were virtual, we threw a massive in-person reception so all of the founders and investors could meet face-to-face. Taking over nearly the entirety of our new SF campus, it was like a three story party celebrating everything W24 has accomplished so far.

Garry wrote up a look back at W24 and how YC itself has evolved in the last few months — find that here. Want to just explore a big list of the companies that launched during W24? Find that here!

"To get rich, do work where you get paid in proportion to the number of customers you satisfy instead of the number of hours you work. Not all work of this kind will make you rich, but nearly all work that can make you rich is of this kind."
