Y Combinator
“Y Combinator is a new kind of venture firm that specializes in funding very early stage startups. We help startups through what is for many the hardest step, from idea to company. We’re not a venture capital fund. VC investments are larger, come later in the life of a startup, are much harder to get, and come with more strings attached. We provide the seed funding that gets you to the stage where you’re ready to approach VCs.”
