💭 Topic: To YC or not to YC
Everyone talks about YC like it’s startup hall of fame.
But have you ever heard of it from actual YC founders?
We’re getting into:
• What YC actually changes (and what’s pure hype)
• How to maximize your chances of getting in
• Raising before vs after YC
• Valuation traps & growth pressure
• Whether YC even makes sense for deeptech
• The stuff founders usually say only after the batch ends
🎤 Our speakers:
• Dimi Ilias (intryc - YC W24)
• Alex Petkos (Philon - YC S25)
• Thaleia Misailidou (skybound.vc)
