The best way to prepare for the YC application process is to actually work on your company.
You learn so much about your customers and product space by actually building something and talking to customers about it. By doing that, thinking critically about the results, and iterating, you'll find the YC application and interview questions get easier to answer - because you'll know more about what you're doing and why than anyone else.
- malanj 13y agoI found that to be true applying to YC for the first time now. We spent an hour or two doing a first version of the application. After that we spent 95% of our time talking to potential customers and building things. We just refined our application every few days. The questions get a lot easier to answer, and you're not wasting time trying to hack answers.
