    Tech Talk: Y Combinator

    Department of Computer Science (CS)

    5:00 PM L361, Technological Institute

    EVENT DETAILS

    YC is coming to Northwestern!

    Want to build the next Stripe, Twitch, or Scale AI? Curious about startups but not sure where to begin?

    Join us Wednesday, April 16th, at Northwestern for an exclusive talk with Brad Flora, YC General Partner and Northwestern alum, and the founders of Coast, Spencer and Austin, who were Northwestern class of ‘22.

    Brad co-founded Perfect Audience (S11), and now helps fund and mentor the world’s top founders. He’ll share insider lessons from YC’s experience backing billion-dollar companies founded by college dropouts and new grads—like Stripe, Twitch, Reddit, and Scale AI.

    Spencer and Austin will talk about graduating Northwestern in ‘22 and immediately starting Coast, and what’s happened since then.

    What you’ll learn:

    How AI is reshaping startups and why YC is funding 4x more college founders than in 2022.
    What YC looks for in founders (you don’t need a startup idea yet!).
    Why CS, math, and engineering students have an edge—even if they’ve never considered doing a startup.
    After the talk, join us for a reception with food and drinks, where you can meet Brad, connect with fellow students, and explore what it takes to start something big.

    Don’t miss this chance to get a front-row seat to the future of startups!
