Y Combinator | 60 Startup Founders Share How They Met Their Co-Founder @ycombinator | Uploaded July 2023 | Updated October 2024, 5 days ago.
At the S23 batch retreat, we interviewed 60 founders about how they met their co-founders. By compiling their answers together, you get to see their commonalities and differences—and hopefully inspire you to find someone to start a company with. This is the first episode of a new series we're calling Founder FAQ, where we'll ask YC founders about their stories and experience.
