Extra Crunch Live: Join Y Combinator’s Geoff Ralston for a live chat today at 12pm PT/3pm ET

How has Y Combinator adapted its accelerator program to work through a pandemic? What does YC look for in a company in a year as rocky and unpredictable as this one?

Y Combinator President Geoff Ralston will join us on Extra Crunch Live later today to talk about all this and more, starting at 12 p.m PT/3 p.m ET.

Want to tune in? EC Members can find details for the live Zoom Q&A down below — and if you’re watching along live, you’ll be able to submit questions of your own.

Geoff has led Y Combinator as its president for a little over a year now, and joined the accelerator as a partner nearly a decade ago.

Prior to Y Combinator, Geoff built and sold RocketMail, the product that later served as the foundation for Yahoo! Mail. He then led the music streaming service Lala (acquired by Apple in 2012) as CEO, and built up the edtech-focused accelerator Imagine K12, which merged with YC in 2016.

We’re absolutely thrilled to have Geoff on the show. He joins an increasingly spectacular list of guests, with past speakers including Mark Cuban, Freida Kapor Klein and Mitch Kapor, Charles Hudson. Want to see the full upcoming agenda? Find that here.
