Y Combinator have announced the registration for Startup School 2022, a live, online course where YC Group Partners and successful YC founders teach you how to build a billion dollar company. It will be the first Startup School course to feature in-person meetups and talks in over a hundred cities around the world.
The YC Startup School 2022 course will run for 7 weeks from Monday, June 27th to Wednesday, August 10th.
For the last three years, the YC Startup School have been run remotely as a result of the global pandemic. The last live Startup School was in the summer of 2019 before COVID-19.
