So what is to be done about this?
I assume one of your main distinctive features is unique to YC - you.
Surely by continuously refining the detail you can be one cycle ahead of the competition - possibly shortening the 'application open' window.
Why not release more data on your successes. They can't copy that.
- pg 19y agoI don't think we have to do much about it. Copies are never as big a problem as they seem.
- Kaizyn 19y agoReleasing more data would just give the competition something else to copy. Instead, YC could build a 'one click' application process and patent it. Seriously though, YCombinator could always franchise their system. That way, they at least profit when others use the fruits of their labors.
