Y-Combinator: We’re excited to announce our new online Startup School. Anyone can sign up for the 10-week massively open online course. We want to teach everyone how to start a startup and help them along the way with guidance from people who’ve started companies. The class is designed for people to go through it with their own nascent startup, though you can also just watch the lectures if you’re interested. In either case, it’s free. Guest lecturers include:
- Jan Koum, Co-Founder, WhatsApp
- Patrick Collison, Co-Founder, Stripe
- Steve Huffman, Co-Founder, Reddit
- Adam D’Angelo, Co-Founder, Quora

We are a community of over 3,000 founders, our companies have a combined valuation of over USD 80b. [Registration for the school has closed, you may still participate by following the course or watching the lectures as they are made available.
Pick of Y Combinator's Demo Day (March 2017, Ref: TC1, TC2). The short descriptions and linked websites may look a bit ho-hum but there is substance in the startups. For more info, refer to the Techcrunch writeups.
