Yarn (YC W24) | https://www.yarn.so | Founding Engineers | NYC In-Person | Full Time
Yarn is Figma for video.
We're taking a novel approach in the video space. We think making videos is reasoning-heavy, so we're focusing on using LLMs and interfaces to orchestrate the best domain-specific models. We want to help people create high-end output, not programmatic AI slop.
We believe in small, in-person, talent-dense teams.
We're looking for smart generalists that enjoy picking up new challenges and learning new tech.
Ah sorry for clarity I didn't mean "currently attend", and agree "smartest" here was probably excessively casual.
I think there's different benefits at different ages, and agree on importance of determination and obsession. A good market is the only thing that might be more useful.
But e.g. there was a great team in our batch (W24) with very young kids who flew to SF for in-person events. Some people were unable to come to the US (visa issues) that took part remotely.
No requirement to intend to stay in the US – many foreign teams heading back, but many more haven chosen to stay in SF on O1 and other visas (YC helps with this).
I think YC admissions see the intention to be based in SF as a net positive, because SF is in most situations the very best place to start a startup (regardless of YC).
