Fill out a single application with your background and experience -- it only takes a few minutes. Next, Y Combinator companies browse through applications and start a conversation with people they are interested in.
You don't need to apply for a specific job or company. When you fill out an application, we make it available to startups that Y Combinator has funded. If a company is interested in your application, they'll contact you.
YC companies are hiring for all roles, including engineering, design, product, recruiting and operations.
If it's in our directory, you can apply directly. We still encourage you to share your application with other companies. Y Combinator funds a lot of companies; there may be others working on something similar...or something totally different that you've not yet considered.
Most do but not all. If you want to reach a YC company that's not in our directory yet, you should apply directly on their own website.
