A participant said the first day of Y Combinator Startup School 2026 felt more eventful than critics expected, even if they spent most of the day listening rather than speaking.
The standout moments, in their view, were Boom Supersonic CEO Blake Scholl’s strong on-stage opinions and Michael Kratsios’s optimistic framing of U.S. innovation, freedom to build, and the idea that compliance is not the enemy when leadership is aligned.
