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

Wish I would have seen this earlier, as I scheduled my launch... not aiming to get into YC, but just share a different sort of product. So now my little vibe coded cute custom emoji cross-platform match3 game finish polished game made entirely with AI assistance is competing against all these people. Could have been a nice real case study of a product made with AI that was finished and in production with little security flaws. But that is okay. Hope everyone does well on their launch.
Lesson Learned : Don't forget your scheduled launches!
Hey @aaronoleary, for some reason our launch isn't even showing up on the YC Application page.
Hey @gabe and @aaronoleary — we built Drafte and saw this post late due to the IST timezone difference. We scheduled our launch for March 13 but it goes live a few minutes after the YC voting window closes.
We are a YC S26 applicant and would love to be considered if possible.

nooo, just saw this :( I'm launching tomorrow
OrangeLabs
Launched, being featured as a YC Application on PH.
cool concept. added my product i am sitting on DutyBird. Better to get it out there.
Basement Browser
This is exactly the kind of push we needed. We'd been soft building @Basement Browser for about a month and saw this announcement right before the deadline. Scheduled our launch that night.
For context, Basement Browser is a mobile browser where every webpage becomes a live social room so you can browse with friends, plus AI agents called "Baselings" that track prices, find deals, and surface context while you browse.
Huge thanks to @aaronoleary ronoleary and the PH team for making this happen with YC. This kind of thing genuinely changes the trajectory for small teams like ours.
If anyone wants to check it out or swap feedback: https://www.producthunt.com/products/basement-browser
Even after rejection email. Will they review ?
Saturn
Hi @gabe @aaronoleary ,
Saturn also has the YC Application tag, are we eligible?
CodeYam CLI & Memory
I'd be curious if there's going to be a follow-up share out; there was (unsurprisingly) a lot of launches and voting yesterday but would love to learn more about how the YC team specifically decided which were compelling.
