We’ve almost finished selecting the S24 batch, but we’ve still got time to accept a few more companies. Usually by June we would be done with selecting the batch, but starting this year, we’ve pushed the summer batch a month later so it runs from July to September. With the new schedule, we have a couple of extra weeks to read last-minute applications before the batch starts. So, if you were interested in applying for S24 but thought it was too late, it’s not.

The end of the year is a time of reflection and when many founders decide it's time to make a change and get serious about their startup. Even though the official YC W24 application deadline was in October, we know there are founders that haven't already applied but are interested in being a part of the batch. These founders have decided now is the time to get serious about their startup. We didn’t want those people to miss out on the chance to participate in the W24 batch.

The last two batches at YC were some of the absolute strongest we've ever seen, in large part because of the healthcare and bio founders we had the privilege of working with. YC has now funded over 500 bio and healthcare companies, and they’ve devoted themselves to solving some of the world’s most pressing problems. YC alum are creating vaccines for cancer, decarbonizing the chemicals industry and helping patients with chronic insomnia.
