Sıkça Sorulan Sorular

Bu, 500Friends şirketinin gerçek YC başvurusu mu?

Hayır. Y Combinator gönderilen başvuruları gizli tutar. Bu bir yeniden yapılandırmadır: gerçek YC form soruları, 500Friends'in kamuya açık verilerinden (lansman notları, kurucu geçmişleri, ürün açıklaması) yanıtlanmıştır. 500Friends gibi bir şirketin YC'ye kendisini nasıl sunacağını gösterir, gönderdikleri metni değil.
