How to get transcripts of Y Combinator videos
Startup advice is scattered across hundreds of talks with near-identical titles.
Extract transcripts freeGet every transcript in three steps
- Paste the channel link. BulkTranscripts detects whether it is a video, playlist, or channel automatically.
- Press Get transcripts. Videos are processed in parallel with live progress, and anything already in your library is served instantly from cache.
- Export. Download a ZIP with one file per video, or a single combined document — TXT, Markdown, SRT, VTT, CSV, JSON, or AI-ready.
What people do with Y Combinator transcripts
The common use is to ask an AI what YC actually says about pricing, hiring, or finding your first users. Because the combined export carries each video's title, channel, date, and link in a header, an AI model can cite which video an answer came from instead of blending everything together.
Why bulk matters
Most transcript tools handle one video at a time, which is fine for a single clip and useless for an archive. Pulling Y Combinator one URL at a time is the actual problem — BulkTranscripts exists to do the whole channel in one job.
Questions
Is there a limit on how many Y Combinator videos I can transcribe?
You can run a whole channel or playlist in one job. Large archives are processed in batches with live progress, and everything you have already pulled is cached so re-runs are instant.
Do I need to sign in?
No. Paste a link and go.
What if a video has no captions?
It is skipped and reported in the results, and the rest of the job continues. Videos with creator-written captions are preferred over auto-generated ones when both exist.
Can I get one file instead of hundreds?
Yes. Choose the combined export to get the entire channel or playlist as a single document, which is what you want for NotebookLM, ChatGPT, or Claude.
