YC's Startup School's free incubator offers essential advice and education for ambitious startup founders. With classes taught by YC partners and other industry leaders, the program is designed to be completed over approximately 7 weeks. However, to meet the needs of busy founders in the early stages of building their startups, the program is self guided. In addition to the curriculum, graduates have access to the world's largest co-founder matching program, valuable partner discounts, as well as important opportunities to interact with other founders in the program in real time.
