YC Series A Program

A good chunk of this information would be useful to non-YC companies as well, I really hope they will open up the bits that do not require physical presence in SV.

All the founding rounds are discrete events. I wonder if there's an opportunity to have a way to do funding in a more continuous way. You can get more people chipping in funding at random points in the life of the company that unlocks over time.

For people who don&#x27;t read the article and jump straight to the comments: YC is not leading Series A rounds.<p>YC is creating a program to help improve outcomes for portfolio companies that go on to raise a Series A from other VCs.

I had assumed they did this already. As much as we hate to admit it, pitching (or &quot;running a process&quot; — see comments below) is critical to the success of a company and therefore a required skill for founders. And YC seems to be an ideal place to build a collective set of best practices.

What would be the requirements to get into this program? I.e team size, previous amount raised, etc?

&gt; <i>These often-discussed milestones have</i> lead <i>a lot of founders to believe they’re ready to raise when they’re not.</i><p>The word here is <i>led</i>, not its metallic homonym.<p>I do not understand why this mistake appears to be <i>increasing</i> in occurrence over the last few years.
