Don't fly home after YC's India Startup School!
We’re excited to announce that Crustdata has partnered with Y Combinator to help bring the next generation of Indian founders one step closer to YC.
Together, we’re hosting the first-ever YC hackathon in Bangalore that will offer YC office hours to the winners: ContextCon, on April 19.
And it’s no one else than the legendary YC Partner Jon Xu who will be meeting the winners. Jon is a YC Partner and the co-founder of FutureAdvisor - he has advised hundreds of companies on how to go from a hack to a billion-dollar exit.
You’ll get the opportunity to have a conversation about your idea, your future, and whether you have what it takes to make it in the startup world. That's the kind of access usually reserved for founders already in a YC batch.
Here, you earn it by building something extraordinary in 6 hours.
The Challenge
You get 6 hours. Build a working product powered by Crustdata's APIs - sales intelligence, recruiting tools, market research, AI agents, or something nobody's thought of yet. It's your call.
