The 84 startups of the first day of demonstration of Y Combinator S19 – TechCrunch

It's time of the year, Silicon Valley investment technocrats and Twitter celebrity tips went to Pier 48 in San Francisco to judge the latest batch of Y Combinator startups this summer. TechCrunch was also present and we were feverishly going over the co-founders who were trying to woo investors.

There are 197 companies in total in the YC summer lot, we have heard about it today by 84 of them – in addition to some unexpected arguments that we agreed to differ from the advertising because they remain secret. We will hear another part tomorrow, so come back tomorrow to find out more.

Demo Day was one of the beginnings of many of these companies, but as Y Combinator's the prestige has increased, and the best chances for the group are to complete a series of inordinate evaluations before the first launches.

We are definitely going to take stock of some of these series, but for the moment, it is the 84 companies whose founders met today at the demonstration of Y Combinator Demo Days – Day 1.
