## Feedback **From:** [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) <[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])> on behalf of 'Y Combinator' <[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])> **Sent:** Wednesday, September 27, 2023 12:59:26 AM **To:** Angadh Nanjangud <[[email protected]](mailto:[email protected])> **Subject:** Y Combinator: Invitation to apply Hi Angadh, Thanks for applying to a recent YC batch. We know it’s hard to know how close you are to getting into YC, so we want to give you an objective standard: based on your background, you were in the top 5% of the founders that applied that batch. YC funds about 1% of applications, so that’s pretty close. You are the kind of founder we would like to fund. So if you’re still working on a startup - either the one you applied with previously or something new - you’d likely have a strong application. It is never too early to apply. 52% of YC teams apply with just an idea. 30% apply before quitting their jobs. If you have a co-founder and an idea you are excited about, you’re ready to apply to YC. The deadline to apply for the next batch is 10/13. Y Combinator only runs twice a year, so if you're interested in doing YC for your startup, now is the time to apply. -YC
