I could imagine YC might consider there might be a conflict of interest in funding you (although they have funded competitors before).

I could imagine YC might consider there might be a conflict of interest in funding you (although they have funded competitors before).
- endlessvoid94 16y agoRight. Like I said, it's a totally reasonable reaction. I really enjoyed the interview and talking to the other companies while we waited. If I was them, I probably would've made the same decision. But we're still kicking ass :-)
- ig1 16y agoOut of curiosity, are you going to apply to TechStars ?
- endlessvoid94 16y agoDidn't plan on it. EDIT: to clarify, YC was never about the money for us.
- ig1 16y agoWas it specifically the Heroku-connection that made YC attractive to you (i.e. their expertise in this marketplace) ?
- endlessvoid94 16y agoNo way. It actually had very little to do with Heroku. We wanted to be involved in the network (I already know several folks from recent YC batches), to contribute, to tap the collective wisdom of the YC alumni, and the connections to publicity outlets. Like I said, it had very little to do with Heroku and the money. We have a product with users and we wanted some help and to contribute.
