What changed

Anyone can write an application now. Knowing what counts is still rare.

AI made writing free, so selectors now read hundreds of answers that sound the same. What still sets you apart is judgement: whether to apply at all, which of your facts this selector weighs, and saying it the way only you could. That judgement has always sat with a few recruiters, counsellors and alumni. Most people never get near one.

Lead with this

“A paper accepted this year is your strongest listed item and beats the 2016 MIT workshop selection.”

Flow’s call on one question of the same YC plan: which fact goes first.

Since 2015

Everyone deserves the night talk with a senior.

In 2015, his last year of college, Harshit wrote down what he kept seeing: skilled students “branded as Tier 2 or 3, be it cities or institutes, are left because they have no proper channels.” Not for lack of skill. For lack of someone who would tell them what counts.

He started Flow as a Facebook group to share opportunities and how people got in. Today, Flow is that conversation, built into software.

What Flow will not do

Your name is on it. So the rules are yours.

1

Nothing made up.

A fact Flow does not have stays a gap in your draft, marked for you to fill.

We served 1,200 families, [confirm: how many more than the year before].
A first draft on Flow’s sample plan. The number is left for you.

2

You send it.

Flow does not send anything for you. You decide, and you send.

3

Ruled out, told first.

If an eligibility rule rules you out, Flow says so before anything else, and never says “apply”.

4

No writing where AI is not allowed.

If the organiser says no to AI, Flow does not draft for it.

5

Nothing promised.

Flow tells you what counts. The selectors decide.
