Welcome, ACLU

by Sam Altman1/31/2017

We are delighted to be funding the ACLU as a non-profit in our Winter 2017 batch.

The ACLU has always been important, but has a particularly important role right now. We are honored to be able to help, and we will send some of our team to New York for the rest of the batch to assist.

The ACLU will have full access to the Y Combinator network and community, and they will present at Demo Day in March.

We are hopeful that the YC community will join us in supporting this important work. In particular, if you’re an engineer and want to spend some time helping them out, let us know. We’ll keep you updated on opportunities.

Also, please consider donating to the ACLU.
