However, you'd be one month behind in development. For a start-up, that could be critical.
- nostrademons 19y agoSame goes for spending a month finessing your YC application. tptacek's point is that the time spent getting into YC could be better spent building your product.
- tptacek 19y agoIf the first month is critical, you're probably picking a crappy segment to chase. Yeah, the window's closing on social networks. Go do something else.
- xirium 19y agoIts not the first month thats critical, its the last month. Any plan with an extra month at the end has more chance of success. The problem with a startup is that the total amount of time available is rarely known in advance.
