Does this mean that we're going to start seeing a wider variety of startups funded by YC? Most of them seem to be consumer facing, but there is a lot of room for innovation in behind-the-scenes software.
- wheels 16y agoI think most of the ones that are the best known seem to be consumer facing, but then things like Clustrix, which has raised more money than Loopt, Scribd or Dropbox are a reminder that there's other stuff happening that's just less visible.
- pg 16y agoThis won't change the types of startup we fund. But the types of startups we fund aren't as constrained as they seem. If it seems like we fund mostly consumer web apps, that's because (a) consumer web apps are more visible; Reddit has a lot more users than Clustrix, and (b) that is the kind of startup that younger, more technically inclined founders tend to start.
