The gathering

What to look forward to

On Oct 24–25, 175 hand-picked founders and professionals with 2+ years of experience will use AI and Emergent’s tools to turn ambitious ideas into working products, with YC judges awarding up to $10,000 and a direct interview for an upcoming YC batch. The weekend will welcome pre-seed and pre-company builders across engineering, product, design, operations, sales, and finance, even those new to coding.

Inside the event

📌 Final check-in info: please read

Only guests with a YC approval email can get in tomorrow.

  • A Luma RSVP is not a ticket.
  • Your YC confirmation email is your only way in.
  • Your spot is just for you. Please don’t bring co-founders, friends, neighbors, your local baker or your surf instructor. 🏄

If you didn’t get a YC approval email, we’d love to see you at a future event, but please don’t come tomorrow. You won’t be able to get in, and we don’t want you to make the trip for nothing.
