YC F24 & W25 End of Batch Party

The Detour Was the Destination

This Wednesday in San Francisco? It was time to hit pause (and the arcade).

It wasn’t about traction or TAMs. It was about toasting F24 and W25.

The arcade was packed with founders, and the community energy was real.

New faces from W25 mingled with seasoned alums, swapping advice, sharing wins, and making plans for what’s next.

Big thanks to our cohosts and sponsors who made it all happen: @vouch_group @TrustVanta @stripe @mastra_ai @join_arc @tryfondo

The games may be over, but the journey is just getting started. Here's to F24 and W25 and everything they’ll build next.
