Advantage: Weekly DinnersEvery week during the 3 month program, Y Combinator hosts an informal dinner for all the startup founders. Paul Graham usually does the cooking. It gives the groups a chance to catch up with each other and demo their latest product features. Getting feedback and ideas from others during this early stage of development is helpful in shaping what the product becomes. The regular dinners also place a bit of pressure on the teams to continue to work hard, show progress, and impress others, because in the end, not all will make it. |
