Y Combinator at UChicago

Combinator partners are coming to the University of Chicago to give an off-the-record talk about startups. Jared Friedman and Harshita Arora both started successful YC companies and are now YC partners. We’ll be talking with the founders of Wafer, who graduated from UChicago and did YC in the summer of 2025. They’re working on making LLMs run faster, and they recently announced their $40M Series A at a $220M valuation.
