Anyone going to the "Invite only" Y-combinator 'wannabe' programs?

Some of you who applied to other programs besides the Y probably got invites during the summer to meet up with those people and other entrepreneurs. Anyone going?

If so, we should hold a mini get together or something. It'll be fun. Three trips planned in one summer, its a lot of money but it's not everyday you get the opportunity to meet exciting people


Instead of wasting your money on visiting people that rejected you, why not spend that time and money on your startup?!


At SXSW Kathy Sierra asked a good question: why are we all here? We're in the industry that's supposed to create software to help eliminate F2F meetings and liberate the global workforce. What is the true benefit of F2F nowadays?


What are the invite-only YC-wannabe programs? I haven't heard of such a thing.




Consider applying for YC's Fall 2025 batch! Applications are open till Aug 4
