Anyone involved in the YC summer school?

Just wondering how you are doing?

    I had two meetings, the first one was good, the second one, at the same hourly range and day, were people completely different, most of them can't make the mic/camera work and moved to Zoom.

    I don't really like having different companies each week, last year was a lot better having the same people every week, tracking progress, talking about deeper topics, I ended up making some friends.

    I think I will stop attending next week as I don't like this new way of meeting with random companies each week, it felt like a waste of time.

    Been great. Small groups have been wonderfully deep. Really nice people I've met and I've hopefully been helpful to them.
    I've been doing one on one calls afterward to go deeper in ways we can help each other.

    Solo founder here, launched my startup, Just looking for users and trying everything I can to service them. (It's an Instagram growth tracking tool for creators/influencers)

    Yep. Getting good feedback.

    Group call was a little small (4 companies, 1 didn't show). Hopefully they can make the algo that decides group a little better.

      Last week was a small group, 3 of us. I loved it. got to go deep with each other's startups. This week started larger 6, and it took 2 hours and felt like it dragged on. until it came to me to go deep and only 2 other people stayed. Felt weird. but fantastic group of startups we all could help each other.

      One thing was weird, we were mostly entertainment startups, and then one financial startup, that seemed out of place and none of us could really help him.

        I think three are so many start-up its tough to find like companies but maybe there is a lot to learn from the diversity.
