Every company will have one minute to present.The early deadline to apply for the YC Winter 2022 batch is July 19 at 8pm PT.

Y Combinator Launches Co-Founder Matching Platform
We’re excited to announce Y Combinator’s co-founder matching platform is now available for everyone through Startup School, our free online program and community for founders. Anyone actively looking for a co-founder can sign up at startupschool.org/cofounder-matching. The platform has been in beta for the past few months, as we’ve experimented with the process within the Startup School community. To date, we’ve made 9,000 matches across 4,500 founders.
