How they seem to work is that they will hear a pitch from a founder (but they prefer co-founders) on a business to invest in and work with the founders over a few months. Often the business that was pitched &amp;ldquo;pivots&amp;rdquo; so much, it&amp;rsquo;s unrecognisable so Y Combinator has said they invest in the founders rather than the initial idea.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
