Can someone summarize the content, and specifically point out the lessons? The only thing I'm getting from reading it is "we come from far away, that's why it was harder" (true story but doesn't really help others in this situation) and "YC is so great" (which may or may not be true, but also doesn't teach us anything). I don't find any lessons.
- MatthewMcDonald 11y ago* If English is your second language, don't worry * Be truthful and give the whole story * You win with growth, good metrics (acceleration > size) and good execution. * live close to YC * talk to your batch mates * listen to YC partners' advice * learn to talk slowly * fundraising is not a right * be humble * YC will continue to help after your batch is over * pay it forward
