I'm a rising sophmore in university, and I really want to work for a YC-backed startup this Fall (leaning towards consumer products).
I think I have solid experience (interned at AWS this summer as a SWE, and I've also built and scaled consumer mobile apps solo to 20k+ downloads).
My main method so fair has been sending cold DMs to founders on Linkedin for startups I find interesting, but so far I've had no luck. Any advice?

Yeah, don't put YC on a pedestal. Whatever ship the supposed prestige was on sailed a long time ago, then sank.
One would hope that would create a habitable reef, but in practice it's probably closer to an underwater super fund site.

I highly recommend watching HBO's Silicon Valley.
