Y Combinator wants to bring more startups through its accelerator that can help with the COVID-19 crisis and the firm is looking to speed the pace of its application process so it can put money behind the efforts sooner.
The accelerator’s most recent batch “presented” just last week in a virtual demo day that was adjusted in light of the early outbreak. Just a week later, the situation has progressed substantially and YC’s team says they are looking to bring in a new class of startups to tackle issues relating to the pandemic.
