No one cares about the idea. In fact we applied with a different idea to snaptalent but it was the team that mattered.
We could change our idea again and be confident of smashing it out the park because our team is super solid, motivated and hell bent on success.
- amichail 19y agoIsn't that risky? After all, it matters to you whether you are pursuing your own idea. If not, then it's like working for someone else. So if you can change your idea at any time (or are encouraged to do so), how do you know it would change to something that you have contributed to? Isn't an idea change likely to break up the group?

- SwellJoe 19y agoYou've misinterpreted his comment. YC doesn't tell founders what to work on. No one is going to pg and saying, "OK, you said our idea sucks, so what do we work on now?" Instead, pg says, "Your idea sucks." And the founders either say, "We disagree, but why do you think so?" or "Yeah, we noticed. We're thinking about switching to this...what do you think?" In fact, pg is very likely to think your idea sucks at some point in the process. I still think he's a little iffy about ours over a year later.
