One Fourth YC Startups Funded Before They Finish Program

  OK, I know I'm old, but really, did she have to lead with that?

    It certainly emphasizes just how much YC is built upon the backs of the starry-eyed tech youth...

    Nice... :) Would be interesting to hear how your age affected (or didn't affect) your YC experience sometime.

  I could be wrong, but the vibe that I'm getting on the ground is that there's a lot more funding deals being done. I have a hunch that investor's portfolios have recovered from the roller coaster stock market of the past 2 years, and they are in the mood to start taking risks and writing checks again. It's a good time to be an entrepreneur.
