An evening of honest advice, founder stories and YC insight.
Hosted by our Entrepreneur in Residence, Hannah Mercer, in partnership with Barclays Eagle Labs, this dinner brought together startups considering applying for Y Combinator.
Founders had the chance to hear directly from YC alum Naz Malik and Tom Walkinshaw, ask questions, and learn more about what the journey really looks like.
Thank you to everyone who joined us for helping create such a valuable evening for the ecosystem and continuing to build the momentum for Scottish founders on the global stage.
Keep an eye on our socials for updates on the next YC Dinner.
