>If they don't get into YC - will the continue working on this company?
I applied last batch with ICanPriceIt.com, have a functional MVP but no traction and didn't get an invite.
Since then I've spent more time working on my Amazon reselling business- I'm a lot more passionate about the startup ideas I have, but not confident enough to shut down my profitable business to work on those. In other words, I'll very likely only work on this company if funded, or it might take a year or two before I'm comfortable enough to self-fund.
My understanding is that that hurts my chances of getting into YC significantly. Is that correct?
Is there any chance of YC funding a regular boring reselling company? There's little chance of being worth $1 billion ever, but there are several ones in the $100 million range (etailz sold a few months ago for $75 million, pharmapacks is selling over $100 million a year). Should I try applying for that business?
