The following doc will have anything related to YC (app, interview, founder reach outs and more). Eventually this page could be a blog that we share with the wider entrepreneurial / tech community
The follow will provide a detailed account of our process to apply, interview, and hopefully get into YC.

YC founders in Richard's network
As part of the "learning" and increasing odds of success I (Richard) decided to curate a list of HW founders through YC's directory (https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/) and filtered by companies that were still around.
