Would highly recommend to any founder that is looking to jump-start their entrepreneurial endeavors. I've gone through the program twice, and both times I was able to come away with helpful information that made my startup process that much easier. It is also a great way to gain insight into the y-combinator method, namely, talking to customers, and iterating on your product.

Very inspiring weeks of practical talks from experienced «startuppers» + group sessions with fellow entrepreneurs — a breath of fresh air.

Did startupschool twice and I will continue to do the program.
The advice from the YC partners and Alum is too good to be offered free.
The forum is one of the best place to learn about startups and ask questions about startups and receive advise from startup founders themselves.

Super valuable community, information, and opportunities. Will go back to YC's Startup School in the future. Highly recommended for friends and family interested in entrepreneurship.
