What can I do at startup school event to connect with staff and increase chances of getting in next YC round?

Answer

Connecting with the YC team at Startup School can be tough, there are a LOT of people. I think going to that event is much more about meeting your peers, possibly your future team members, and learning from the speakers. The partners and staff of YC are friendly, you can just say hi — they just might be a bit distracted since they’re also the hosts for the event.
