Y Combinator has opened applications for its Winter 2027 batch:
- The batch runs January–March 2027 in person in San Francisco, starting with a 3-day in-person kick-off.
- On-time deadline is November 2, 8pm PT; applicants who submit before it get decisions by December 11. Interviews are mostly by video in November–December, with same-day decisions and detailed feedback.
- Late applications are still considered, and future Spring/Summer/Fall batches are open now.
- YC invests as soon as companies are accepted; each company gets a dedicated General Partner, and founders of OpenAI, Airbnb, Stripe, and DoorDash frequently return to speak.
