Do YC after you graduate: Early decision for students

Apply now, do YC later. For students who want to finish school before doing YC. You get the funding the moment you get accepted.

Early Decision lets you apply to YC while you're still in school and reserve your spot in a future batch. If you're considering working on your own startup after graduation, Early Decision makes it easy to lock in your spot. The most common path is students applying in the fall of their final year and joining the summer batch after graduating in Spring.
