At YC’s Startup School conference this year featuring Paul Graham and Sam Altman, a key takeaway was that this is the most opportune moment in the past two decades to launch a business.
To adapt to the fast-paced technological advancements, YC has recently increased its annual batches from two to four.
The Winter 2025 batch is scheduled from January to March, and applications are required by November 12.
Many successful YC companies submitted applications right before the deadline with just an idea. If you believe it’s “too early,” it likely isn’t, and applying comes with no downside.
To apply, please ensure your application is submitted by Tuesday, November 12 at 8 PM PT.
