i think it's probably due to the fact that you get as much out of YC as you put into it. If you need help they'll give it to you...they have those kinds of connections.
So the only thing it comes down to is money, and it's pointless to complain about that when you just flamed out and the equity is worth 0.
And if you are a success, you attribute a large part of it to the connections you got through YC.
or <tinfoilhat> they are afraid of getting on PGs bad side, and having him email every person in the valley, saying that they shouldn't work with you</tinfoilhat>
- chewb 16y agoThe thing is, if you need a really good advisor, you don't give away 6% of your company to do it. That's unheard of in Silicon Valley. If you want to bring on a great advisor, you'll probably only need to give up 1% (or a fraction of it).
- dariusmonsef 16y agoTrue. But YC is team of advisors + a network of a few hundred other startups that got your back. (+$ & Events, Dinners, Etc.)
