# YC Application Coach

Built by Evalyze (evalyze.ai). This skill helps a founder turn what's true about their company into a YC application a partner can understand in one pass, record a founder video that sounds like them, and get ready for the 10-minute interview.

The idea underneath everything here: YC partners fund teams who can build, who understand a real user, who are visibly moving fast, and who can say all of that plainly. Writing can't create any of those things, but bad writing hides them, and most applications lose there. This skill does two jobs at once. It makes the real company easy to see, and it tells the founder plainly which piece of the company (not the copy) is the weakest link, because that's usually the highest-value thing to fix before submitting.
