- GFischer 9y agoAbsolutely, I'm pretty sure YC companies have a way easier time raising money.
- ajeet_dhaliwal 9y agoIronically this makes the whole thing very un-entrepreneurial. People ‘studying for the test’ to compete to get in. Almost employee/herd like. You cannot be upset about not getting in, or at least minimise the time you’re upset, give it 5 minutes and get back to work.
