How to get on Y Combinator Startup Podcast
Published by Y Combinator
We help founders make something people want. The Y Combinator Podcast is where builders talk about building. From the earliest days of an idea to scaling a company that changes the world, YC partners and founders share real stories, lessons, and tactics from the frontlines.
Y Combinator Startup Podcast runs an interview format and publishes roughly every 2 days. Signals we read: guest name leads the title; interview language in episodes. Pitch a specific episode idea rather than a description of yourself, reference an episode you have actually heard, and lead with one checkable proof point. Shows at this cadence typically book two to six weeks out.
