"we spent months on analyzing ... i have a 1 Gb folder" "well i've rejected from yc 5 times in a row now. my project folder just grows bigger and bigger" I can't believe people spend so much time (and GBs) just preparing themselves to ask for the kind of beer money you get at YC, and more importantly all this is time spent NOT HACKING. How do you cope? I seriously couldn't... ;) Granted, the money is enough for students to live of Ramens for a couple of months. But if you spend months working on your YC pitch, you can just as well spend the same time earning that kind of money or more by bartending or moonlightning/consulting. PG, admit it, you'd love to invest in bootstrappers / fanatical-about-frugality entrepreneurs but the trouble is, they'll never apply to YC in the first place. :)
