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

Tried adding the tag, does it only show in the backend, not publicly next to "Launch tags"?
Product Hunt
@rohanrecommends So long as it shows up in the launch edit page you're good to go!
@rohanrecommends @mike_ciesielka1 trying to figure out why my application isn't listed yet:
https://www.producthunt.com/products/vetry-bidflow-alpha
has the YC Application tag and everything but not on the list
@dooraven Hey Dooraven, likely because the launch wasn't featured. Here are the featuring guidelines: https://help.producthunt.com/en/articles/9883485-product-hunt-featuring-guidelines

@dooraven @rohanrecommends what? we have the same problem, this is quite shitty, its absolutely not clear if we are in or not as well
I think this is the fastest way to get accepted into Y Combinator. And for everyone who isn’t in the group of bootstrappers but is looking for VC funding, I think this is the best way for it to happen quickly.
You get the huge support of Y Combinator, and the Product Hunt community is already familiar with your product. All the ingredients are there for something big to come out of it.
Looking forward to the launches tomorrow!
Naoma AI Demo Agent
Hi @gabe @aaronoleary ,
We're live today, featured, and currently leading on Product Hunt — we hit every condition for this.
When this post went live it was the middle of the night for us. We saw it minutes before the deadline and didn't have time to add the "YC application" tag to our launch. Can it be added now?
For context — we've already submitted our application for the YC S26 batch. Getting in front of a YC partner would be an incredible opportunity for us. Naoma is an AI video agent that runs live product demos 24/7, closes the gap between buyer intent and first product contact, and in early pilots is already closing deals without human involvement.
Is there really no way to be included? 🙏

@gabe @aaronoleary @dmitry_zakharov_ai pretty please ;-)
Product Hunt
@aaronoleary @dmitry_zakharov_ai @dzmitry_ivanouski Refresh the launch page and you should see the tag there now :)
Naoma AI Demo Agent
@aaronoleary @gabe thank you! We're happy :) It means a world to us!
Naoma AI Demo Agent
We're launching Naoma today.
Saw this post a bit too late to edit the launch and add the tag in time. Is there any way to still get us added - https://www.producthunt.com/products/naoma?launch=naoma-ai-demo-agent? Would mean a lot to the team.
We're currently one of the leaders. And we've already submitted a YC application for the S26 batch.
Product Hunt
@dmitry_zakharov_ai the tag should be added now!

How many hours are left here i don't really get it when was this posted and which midnight please?
Product Hunt
@em Schedule up for March 12! You have until end of day March 11 in PST

@mike_ciesielka1 we added everything like you asked in time but our app does not show up in the list? are we in or not? https://www.producthunt.com/products/nuri-bitcoin-onchain-bank-passkey-wallet can you confirm that?
This is Huge! We were thinking of launching this month end, but you know what ? we'll be pushing our hardest to make it by midnight for this opportunity.
I think there should be one day every month like this!
Hey! I thought we have 24 hours from the time you people posted me being in another time zone and missed it. 🤦♂️
Pushary
i had my launch scheduled for March 17
wanted to do CRO of my onboarding journey
staying out of the competition vs launching safe
my priorities are clear
finished the CRO, updated the landing page, tested the flows, ranking #1 on google
good to go
special thanks to claude code, cursor and Pushary.
@aadilghani Good, Instead of rushing out, waiting and launching safe is good idea!
Pushary
@sanath_bhat I actually did the opposite :)
We saw this post and did a full sprint. Dropped everything, pulled the launch together in hours. Flare is live right now, couldn't sit this one out 🔥 https://www.producthunt.com/products/flare-9
@amraniyasser @rania_rimali @thislam We should have built more ?
We’re launching Clawther tomorrow.
Chat was the perfect interface when AI was mainly informational (thanks ChatGPT).
But as AI becomes agentic, our bet is we need new form of interfaces.
We’ve been experimenting with OpenClaw connected to a task board, and it already feels much better than managing agents through chat. But there is many challenges in the collaboration Human - Agent.
So we built Clawther inside Notion, the simplest possible MVP to explore this idea.
Now we iterate… until we find the right one 🥇
Open for feedback: https://www.producthunt.com/products/clawther
Is the message clear enough ?
@amraniyasser @thislam @bengeekly One of my mottos in life is that you only discover the outcome of your decisions once you take the shot :) This was definetely a sign as we were debating building it for more!! And since the interface for agentic systems is still evolving, the fastest way to learn is to put something out there and iterate as we go
Astrio
Hi. I lauched with the YC tag but it did not appear in this list: https://www.producthunt.com/contests/yc-application-day
