All YC startups attending are well-funded and actively hiring; each event starts with founders giving pitches for you to get familiar with the business and vision, followed by a virtual expo hall for you to network with the founders and their teams directly.

Join us for a fireside chat with YC partner Aaron Harris, hosted by Harvard WiCS. Aaron graduated from Harvard in 2006 and has been a partner at YC since 2013.
