After years of deep fried research, I feel like we finally built a well-rounded product that ppl will use to solve real world problems - and it connects so nicely to the stuff we'll build later onPublic slides ↓— Taelin (@VictorTaelin) June 26, 2025
The pitch deck is dead. Write a pitch.md instead.
Every week, thousands of founders open Canva or Google Slides or, God help them, PowerPoint, and begin the ritual. They agonize over fonts, nudge logos three pixels to the left and workshop whether the TAM slide should come before or after the team slide, as though the ordering of these

YC is widely regarded as the world's best startup accelerator, and has supported companies such as AirBnB, Reddit and Dropbox. It provides investment and intensive coaching over three months.
