Launch tomorrow and you could get a YC interview
by•
If you’re still sitting on your launch, this is the push.
YC made a special exception for this community: one or more companies that launch tomorrow will get a YC interview—and potentially funding. A YC partner will review every eligible launch.
So if you’ve been waiting to feel more ready, don’t.
Launch on Product Hunt by midnight tonight, schedule it for tomorrow, and add the tag “YC application.”
You can keep polishing in private, or you can put it in the world and give yourself a real shot.
Someone launching tomorrow is getting that opportunity. Go be one of them.
Submission Deadline: March 11, 11:59 PM Pacific Time

This is so cool! In the spirit of just ship things, we launched today (my first launch as a “maker”)…oops. Nevertheless I am excited to see some amazing launches tomorrow! Good luck to founders and makers shooting for YC.
@nseldeib I’m in the same boat!
But apparently the messaging is a bit inconsistent

What's an eligible launch?
Incredible
F for EU crowd - 1 hour too late.
does a beta launch count if the product is available and we launch on PH tomorrow?
Product Hunt
@mimir as long as the product is accessible, should be fine!
Wow, this is super cool!! Congrats on this collab 🤩🤩🤩🤩
Also, what a sync 😭 we've just launched PostGod today, but I'm super curious to see who will be the lucky winner tomorrow!!
what's the schedule deadline? What's the last we can submit/go live?
Product Hunt
@ychampion you have until March 11, 11:59pm PST to schedule your launch!
Hi @aaronoleary What an amazing opportunity! We received a response from the support (it's an AI agent, though), that adding the existing tag from today’s launch counts as well. Is this true? And yes, the tag doesn’t show when I save it, but is very much there when I edit again. Could you please clarify if today's product that did indeed launch by midnight would be included?
Product Hunt
@aaronoleary @maria_sergeeva1 add the tag and we'll take featured products under consideration :)
@gabe
Yaaay! Thank you so much! This is literally the first thing I did without even thinking when I noticed the disclaimer on the page. Considering the level of sleep-deprivation after preparing the launch, instincts and impulses are the only things that keep me going, and they are quick :)
@aaronoleary @maria_sergeeva1 @gabe My launch is scheduled for March 13 12:01 AM PDT - does that count, or is it strictly before midnight March 12?
Anything for the ones already launched a couple days ago?
I have launched my product - https://www.producthunt.com/products/valence-ai?launch=valence-ai
but its not appearing on YC Application page: https://www.producthunt.com/contests/yc-application-day
Can someone help? @aaronoleary
@aaronoleary Please check.....
I'm building something extraordinary which YC wants. Just look at my application. I know there are lot of people here, please view everyone's application

What about people who launched one month ago and got first of the day?
What about people who see this post now after the deadline?
