Winter 2013 applications weren't 6 months ago. One of the things we realized after starting YC is that January and June are 5 months apart, not 6. So we have 2 more months between batches in the fall. That's why Startup School is in the fall.
- bravura 14y agoRandom question: Demo day for summer YC is towards the end of August. I've heard anecdotally that many investors travel during August, and that it is a poor time to fundraise. But I've also heard that many investors come to Demo Day. Is the anecdotal information that I heard incorrect?
