I want to work for ycombinator startups, i am a full stack developer with good theoretical concepts also had a year at a startup that got selected for blackbox connect. I have tried couple of time applying at YC startups but never got response. Can anyone suggest me what the preferences of YC startups for their hirings ( candidate must have open source contributions, have +5 year experience .. etc ) I would really love work at such a GREAT environment like YC Thanks

    Keep in mind that even if you work at a YC startup you won't have access to YC directly- its not a coworking space or anything.

    If you shoot me your email with your resume I'd be happy to review it. My emails in the profile.

    It could be that they may have not gotten you resume. Have you tried angel.co. Lots of startups these days use them for filling their recruiting pipeline.
