Re:Want to start a startup? Meet all the YC partners in Boston – Apr 20th on Wednesday March 27, 2024 @07:54PM (#39846106)

Yes. As part of our annual college outreach tour, we're holding in-person interviews for students at this stop.

Re:Want to start a startup? Meet all the YC partners in Boston – Apr 20th on Wednesday March 27, 2024 @07:53PM (#39846086)

Nope, anyone can apply to attend the Startup School event.

Re:Want to start a startup? Meet all the YC partners in Boston – Apr 20th on Wednesday March 27, 2024 @06:23PM (#39845317)

We're working with the venue to stream it. At the very least, we will be recording the entire event and uploading it to YouTube!

Re:Want to start a startup? Meet all the YC partners in Boston – Apr 20th on Wednesday March 27, 2024 @06:21PM (#39845302)

Yes! It'll be recorded and put onto YouTube afterwards.
