    Celebrating 20 Years of Y Combinator

    Paul Graham, Jessica Livingston, Trevor Blackwell, Robert Morris

    Originating from a collaboration between Paul and a co-founder to address flaws in traditional investing, Y Combinator adopted a batch funding model for eight startups that was rapidly validated as highly effective. Recruiting early co-founders like Robert Morris and Trevor Blackwell to fill their inexperience in angel investing, the program evolved from a small project into a persistent, university-like institution designed to operate for centuries. With a legacy goal of improving lives and the world, the initiative continues to drive enthusiasm through extensive educational outreach and initiatives like Startup School while maintaining its core mission of launching new ventures.
