YC Build Sprint

In plain words

YC Build Sprint is a four-week intensive program that brings together founders to work toward specific goals as a community. Participants who complete the sprint are eligible to receive one of 20 equity-free grants. The program is designed for founders looking for structured accountability and financial support without giving up equity in their companies.
