How can we volunteer to advise groups who didn't get an existing advisor?

  Interesting question. Now that the forum is going to be open to all applicants, I guess you (and others like you) can post some information about yourself and how you can help what kind of startups and how many. And then startups can choose whether they'd like you and / or can get you to be their advisor.

    I don't believe I have access to the forum - I think you had to apply to startup school... which is why I'm asking YC if they have a plan here for this!

      Yeah, it didn't occur to me that you weren't an applicant, sorry. Sounds like something YC or Startup School applicants could do something about. Although, realistically speaking, YC may not have anything to gain from connecting the rest of the students to outside advisors, keeping in mind that this would require some effort. This may be something the students will have to do themselves, using the forum as a place to coordinate.

  There are 11000/25 = 440 'new-way' accepted groups in, а lot of us want to be advised. :)
