White, male, southeastern state school, to quote a VC "literally no fucking pedigree", no engineering backgrounds... we just participated in demo day. YC has been incredible for us and the partners have been amazing to work with.

Hustlers. Recruited PhDs & MSs with great experience/ backgrounds and empowered our team (hire smarter than yourself). Build a product that makes sense and people are demanding you take their money for... we are not perfectly outside the norm, but I would assume we're pretty unusual (at least in education/ experience/ skillset). You can email me any questions re YC.
