I might be wrong, so thanks for engaging. You might be naive, but I might be an asshole. :)
But seriously, if I were doing a Y Combinator application, I would make sure that my testimonials were spot on. I would do so because one of Y Combinators' most enduring bits of advice is 'build something people want.'
I'd even equate that to grammatical errors in a website. You're competing for an interview against thousands of the best minds around. Proofread your copy!
- nisthana 10y agoAre you saying startups that are from countries who don't speak english are not eligible for YC because they cannot speak perfect english?
- hluska 10y agoI'm definitely not saying that. Y Combinator accepts companies from a diverse number of backgrounds/countries of origin. Rather, I'm saying that when you apply to Y Combinator, you are competing against the best entrepreneurs around for a very limited number of seats. Since Y Combinator is so competitive, your chances of getting in would be better if you started working with a good writer or editor.
