How many applications did you send, compared to number of phone screens?


I had the most success just replying to inbound recruiter messages for companies that seemed interesting. I mainly used LinkedIn and YC's WaaS. Also, be sure to create a detailed profile that contains the alphabet soup of technologies that you have experience with, because this is how companies search for a potential match.




Consider applying for YC's Fall 2026 batch! Applications are open till July 27.
