The thing I found most interesting about this batch is they are all pretty advanced. Although YC has not said otherwise it looks like "build a business from an idea in 3 months is dead".
- giarc 11y agoAnother way of looking at it is that maybe the tools available to entrapreneurs have advanced to the point where a lot more is possible in 3 months. Therefore a 3 month old company today looks like a 12 month company of 3 years ago.
- danieltillett 11y agoWhat I was saying is a bit ambiguous. I wasn't suggesting that you can't build a business from an idea in 3 months, just that it appears that YC is not accepting teams with basically just an idea anymore. All the companies presenting looked to be pretty advanced going into YC. I don't blame YC for this as it is just a reflection of the great pool of candidates they get to choose from.
