The ultimate guide list for startups applying to Y Combinator
Editor's note: This post is written by Kevin William David, co-founder and CEO of Walletkit which was selected for the final interview by YCombinator a few years ago. The article was first published on his blog and today is the last day for companies to apply but this post will serve a good repository for future reference as well. This post of ClearTax is also a good resource if you're looking to apply.
