Часто задаваемые вопросы

Это реальная заявка Our World in Data в YC?

Нет. Y Combinator держит поданные заявки в приватности. Это реконструкция: реальные вопросы формы YC, ответы на которые основаны на публичных данных Our World in Data (заметки о запуске, бэкграунд фаундеров, описание продукта). Это показывает, как компания вроде Our World in Data представила бы себя YC, а не текст, который они подали.
