We’ve overhauled the YC Library to make it easier to find the latest videos, essays, and podcasts from around Y Combinator, and to help you explore some of the best YC content from over the years. Come learn how to make something people want.
Hey! I'm Kat, one of the engineers who worked on the YC Library with @catheryn. I'm so excited to be sharing the new Library with all of you! Let us know if you have any feedback, questions, or suggestions :)
Hi PH! I’m Cat, and I’m one of the engineers that worked on the YC library, alongside @katherine_bernstein. We’re excited to show you the reimagined YC Library!
We first launched the Library in 2020, and it has proven to be a tremendous resource since; much of the stuff in there has been viewed hundreds of thousands or millions of times.
With this redesign, it’s much easier for founders to keep up with our growing lineup of new video series and and for future founders to explore the wealth of content we’ve made over the years.
The new Library will always be growing — as we release new content, as we expand its archives of prior releases, and as we continue to build out its functionality.
If you have any ideas for things we should add to the library, let us know in the comments!
@svkpham for sure. Also, I started a show called YC Founder Stories. After advising many YC founders, I observed that they all wanted to pay it forward, so I started this show to narrate their stories and help founders who want to get into YC.

I come from a small town called Vasai from Maharashtra, India. I do not have access to genuine wanting-to-help people like those I see YC's videos here, like you would easily have access to in say, Silicon Valley.
YC's videos have always been of great value to me. I just though you, the engineering team, that makes this possible would like to know.
TL;DR: You're creating value thousands of miles away in a small town of India by creating a better platform for YC's treasure trove: the videos.
Thank you so much for sharing your story with us! We're incredibly glad (and honored) to hear that our videos are making a positive impact even in places far away from the usual startup hubs. It's stories like yours that remind us why we're so passionate about providing accessible and valuable content to entrepreneurs worldwide.
Thanks for launching this! Much easier that scouring the internet for every single YC bit of advice! We at Clustr will definitely make use of this on our next application🤩
@jsteneros Thank you so much for the kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you find the resources valuable for launching startups. If you have any specific questions or if there's anything else you'd like to see, let us know!
