Summary

Knowing someone at Y Combinator (YC) is not a requirement for getting accepted into the startup accelerator. Contrary to popular belief, a YC alumni recommendation is not necessary for admission.

Key points:

  • YC alumni recommendations are welcome but not required for admission
  • Many startups are accepted into YC without any recommendation
  • Seeking recommendations from alumni with little connection can be seen as spammy and a negative signal.
