Ask HN: What to Expect at YC Startup School?

Congrats! I'm still waiting for our email. I'm prepping by watching all the Stanford startup videos on YouTube and making notes. The PG, Thiel and Schultz lectures have been thought provoking. I'm a natural contrarian, so I loved the Thiel talk, especially the monopoly vs perfect competition theme. If we're lucky enough to get on the program I've got high hopes for the mentorship by YC alumni element. Would be great to get some guidance from a B2B SaaS that's been there and done it. But I'm a solo founder and I'm a lot older than the usual YC profile, so I'm expecting to get rejected.

I definitely recommend watching the videos. If you are interested I did take notes and you can download them here:

I'm a solo founder (although I'm currently talking to someone who might want to join as a co-founder) and also a lot older than the usual YC profile and based in Singapore.

Also eagerly waiting and will be keeping my fingers crossed the next few days... All the best to you!
