GitLab from YC to IPO
GitLab Inc., from YC’s Winter 2015 batch, is YC’s first open-source company to go public, the first alum of the YC Growth Program to go public, and one of the earliest investments made by the YC Continuity Fund. Beyond building an enormously successful business, they have broken the mold of how startups themselves are built.

Come Work at YC - October 2021
YC is hiring across many of our teams, including Admissions, Continuity, Software, People Ops and Finance.

November 10th: YC Crypto & NFT Tech Talk
Join YC's Crypto & NFT Tech Talk on November 10th and meet Devin Finzer, co-founder & CEO of OpenSea (W18). Also joining is Nemil Dalal of Coinbase and founders from AlgoFi & Cointracker giving talks on coin, Algorand and building a crypto portfolio.

Meet YC: Interviews with YC Founders
A biotech startup developing tests for the early detection of ovarian cancer, a digital mental health system for children & adolescents, and a company helping US tech companies hire and manage software engineers in LATAM. Hear their stories, learn about their journey, and follow them on their missions in these short interviews with YC founders.
