About the Book

A behind-the-scenes look at how tomorrow’s hottest startups are being primed for greatness   Investment firm Y Combinator is the most sought-after home for startups in Silicon Valley. Twice a year, it funds dozens of just-founded startups and provides three months of guidance from Paul Graham, YC’s impresario, and his partners. Receiving an offer from YC creates the opportunity of a lifetime.   Acclaimed journalist Randall Stross was granted unprecedented access to Y Combinator, enabling a unique inside tour of the world of software startups. Over the course of a summer, we watch as a group of founders scramble to make something people want.   This is the definitive story of a seismic shift in the business world, in which coding skill trumps experience, undergraduates confidently take on Goliaths, and investors fall in love.

Review :
“Y Combinator is a national treasure, a Silicon Valley seed fund that is mass-producing new startups.

The Launch Pad is a must-read for anyone interested in the realities of modern entrepreneurship.” —Eric Ries, author of the New York Times bestseller The Lean Startup “The Launch Pad is an intimate look at the white-hot center of the new Silicon Valley star tup ecosystem. Stross’s account of the best new entrepreneurs and the exciting companies they’re building at startup schools is a great read for founders and would-be founders alike.” —Marc Andreessen, cofounder, Andreessen Horowitz
