Here's what Mary Ann, Alex and Kirsten got into:

SimpleClosure raises $1.5 million: What happens if your startup dies, and you need to wind down? You might need a simple way to close things up, right? Enter SimpleClosure.

Argo AI founders are building something new: What just raised more than $1 billion to take another crack at self-driving trucks? This company.

All Things YC: You can find demo day favorites from day one here, and day two here. And, for an overview of sectors, here you go.
