YC Now Accepting Applications for Summer batch 2022 The summer batch will be remote with some optional in-person components depending on the pandemic. YC will invest a total of $500,000 in every company accepted into the batch as part of the new standard deal. Early deadline: January 31 at 8pm PT, and YC will be holding interviews in mid-February and early March. The founders who tend to get the most out of the early deadline are those who are actively fundraising; they benefit from advice on terms, investors, and timing before signing anything. If you’re not sure whether you should apply early, you’re probably better off waiting until the regular deadline: March 31 at 8pm PT. Apply: https://www.ycombinator.com/apply
