   We'll have a live stream for people who can't make it in person. That said, if you create a profile on http://www.workatastartup.com , you can engage directly with founders before the event.

    On non-eng roles: this is something we hope to get to, and soon. If you know talented Designers/PMs/PMMs, happy to help them find a role at a YC company in a more bespoke search. On "Visa Required": where are you seeing

    Those are both great ideas. We can certainly suggest to YC companies that they adopt side-project-friendly legal in their terms of agreement. Whether they choose to do so is entirely up to them, but it's worth bringing to their attenti

    Good point. The companies in attendance are definitely focused on software roles, with a few hardware tech companies mixed in (Volans-i and Standard Cognition). If you have a background/expertise in CPG or ops/production and are l

    Hi there! Currently, the largest demand is engineers. There are YC companies looking for PMs & designers, but not as many. That said, if you're looking for roles, feel free to send me a note at ryan@ycombinator.com and I'll se

    Thanks for the input, and I apologize that this is on a Saturday. Given the design and interactions we're trying to create, this is what happens to work for both engineers and founders at the moment. A lot of people have ideas on remot

    Thanks for that post! Just to clarify -- the startup conference looks to be for entrepreneurs looking to found new companies. With Justin and Ammon presenting, I'm sure there's a ton to get out of it! The YC work at a startup expo

    I'm certainly open to trying -- we've been experimenting with mixers and other methods to put engineers in touch with founders. FWIW, Work at a Startup allows for engineers to designate that they are remote, which helps filter com
