I liked the practical and startup-focused nature of the simulation. The frontend, backend, analytics, and YC startup research tasks gave me a better understanding of how software engineers work in fast-moving startup environments. I especially enjoyed solving real product problems, analysing feature outcomes, and researching startup roles that match my AI, product, and engineering interests.

"I really enjoyed how the simulation felt like real work at an actual startup. The tasks were practical and hands-on — building a Kanban board, connecting it to a backend, analyzing real data, and applying to YC startups. It gave me a genuine feel for what it's like to work at a Y Combinator startup and helped me build real skills I can show to employers."

I really enjoyed how this program simulates the actual experience of working inside a fast-moving startup. Instead of just giving theoretical tasks, it let me work across the whole product cycle — understanding the user problem, building a feature, analyzing the impact, and proposing what to ship next. It felt very close to real-world product engineering.
