257 companies joined YC for Summer 2024, as selected from over 27,000 applications. With an acceptance rate under 1%, this was one of the most selective cohorts in YC history.

‍

Notable that only 2% of companies had one single founder, while the rest of the batch has 2 or more co-founders.

‍

Investors prefer to invest in companies with 2-3 co-founders rather than solo.

‍

At Hello Robo, we work with Y Combinator founders. Most of them have Engineering, Data Science or Business background. Only a few have a clear understanding the crucial role of product design.

‍

We do 2 things so well, that YC founders come back to us:

‍

• Find product market fit by running customer research.
• Design for commercial drivers of success
