Q&A Webinar: Lessons Learned from Applying to YC as an African Startup

About this event

Lessons Learned from Applying to YC as an African Startup

Are you a startup founder looking to join Y Combinator? Come join our live session to get some practical insights that could boost your YC application application process as an African startup.

During this one-hour event, Nubi Kay, Paystack Startup Programs Lead, will engage in discussions with four startup founders who were accepted to YC within the past two years (two of whom are Paystack alumni ✨). They will share what their application process was like, what you should optimise for, and the pitfalls to avoid.

Following their opening conversations, we will hold a 20-minute Q&A session to answer all your questions. We hope you come prepared 😉

Y Combinator has invested in over 4,000 companies including Stripe, Airbnb, Instacart, Dropbox, Reddit, Coinbase, and Ginkgo Bioworks. The combined valuation of YC companies is over $600B.
