Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the real Paradigm YC application?

No. Y Combinator keeps submitted applications private. This is a reconstruction: the real YC form questions, answered from Paradigm's public data (launch notes, founder backgrounds, product description). It shows how a company like Paradigm would present itself to YC, not the text they submitted.
