YC's California office is within the building of Anybots, Trevor Blackwell's robot startup. So the pictures of technical diagrams and offices full of interesting hardware are the Anybots bits. The unicycles are Trevor's personal collection, arranged by YC's fabulous architect, Kate Courteau.


Interesting that Kawasaki didn't pick up on the fact that YC crashes at Anybots HQ when they're on this side of the country. Kind of explains the robots and unicycles.


Thats a pretty sweet picture tour. Great commentary as well. Being a true entrepreneur I always knew guy kawasaki would dig YC, this really confirms that.


The most intruiging startup of the bunch is popcuts. It's the one I really see potential for. The rest will likely do good, but popcuts could possibly be a game changing blowout. Depending on the founders of course.

It also has the easiest path to profits...


I will qualify this though - popcuts needs to bring in a creative agency to fix their page as soon as they have some money.


I wish he would have taken a picture of all the In N Out Burger food we brought.


Very cool. What do you guys have in 'Geek Heaven'? Is it books, CDs and stuff?


"The Art of the Open House"?

Nice play on words, Guy, altering your own "The Art of the Start" to describe yc.

Make a blog people want to read.


Robots! Y Combinator just gained 10+ awesome.


Those pictures rock.
