Hosted by: Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship
Join Y Combinator partners and alumni for a talk and Q&A. Hear their stories and find out what it’s really like to start a startup. They’ll talk about what you should do in college if you’re interested in starting a startup, share best practices for founders, and give you some of their visions for the future.
Snacks and beverages will be served. We hope to see you there!
About Y Combinator: Y Combinator is a startup seed fund based in Mountain View, CA. In 2005, Y Combinator developed a new model of startup funding. Twice a year they invest a small amount of money in a large number of startups. The startups move to Silicon Valley for 3 months, and the YC partners work closely with each company to get them into the best possible shape and refine their pitch to investors. Each batch culminates in Demo Day, when the startups present their companies to a carefully selected audience of investors. Y Combinator has invested in over 1,500 companies including Dropbox, Airbnb, Stripe, Reddit, Instacart, Machine Zone and Docker. The combined market capitalization of YC companies is currently over $80B.
