"The only restrictions on acceptable teams are founders must be willing to work on their ideas full-time, and teams can’t have previously taken money from investors."

We want YC Fellowship to really help teams that are just starting off, or have been struggling to get traction. If you’re doing really well, we’ll likely ask you to apply for the next batch of Y Combinator.
