This Week at YC: Startup School Relaunching as a Continuous Program

YC's weekly email.

 

Startup School Relaunching as Continuous Program
We’re excited to announce that Startup School (SUS) is relaunching as a continuous program. This change will allow us to serve many more founders than the traditional annual course we’ve been running since 2017 and better support startup founders year-round.

Join us on Instagram live!
This Summer, YC is hosting a series of interviews with founders on Instagram live. Join us for our first conversation on June 24 at 8:30am PT. You'll meet YC partner Gustaf Alstromer and YC alum Mathilde Collin, founder of Front. Tune in at https://www.instagram.com/ycombinator/.

Next Steps
Within our organization and community of over 5,000 founders, we have begun a conversation about what we can do to help improve racial and social justice in America. The first action we are taking as a community is to collect a list of organizations that are making a serious impact in this space. The YC community has come up with over 60 organizations and YC partners, staff, and alumni have made donations to every one of them. We encourage others in the startup community to donate as well and have published a list of the organizations with donation links.

Advice for Job Seekers on resumes and reaching out 
To help job seekers amid Covid-19, YC's Ryan Choi (ryan@ycombinator.com) is spending a lot of time doing 1-1s and resume reviews. If you’re looking for a job, check out our active jobs list on Work at a Startup, which makes it simple to browse the 400+ YC companies that are well-funded and actively hiring, including larger ones like  SegmentBrex and Instacart.
