Hello readers,
Welcome to the another Bizzbucket post, in this post we will see quick details of Y Combinator.
YCombinator in short known as YC is one of the most desirable places for early-stage startup founders, till now YC has shaped more than 20 unicorn startups.
YC is a startup accelerator that selects a batch of startups twice a year and provides them with a funding amount of about $ 125,000 ( previously $150,000) at equity of about 7%.

“Y Combinator is the best program for creating top-end entrepreneurs that has ever existed.
”Marc Andreessen, General Partner, Andreessen Horowitz
“I doubt that Stripe would have worked without YC. It’s that simple. Acquiring early customers, figuring out who to hire, closing deals with banks, raising money – YC’s partners were closely involved and crucially helpful.”
Patrick Collison, Founder, Stripe (YC S09)
