Y Combinator isn't just money. If you have a growing company with a vision, you can definitely find some investor interest. However, that should rarely be your goal, unless you flat-out just can't move your business forward otherwise. Y Combinator is what some would call _smart_ money: money that comes with a network of advisors, constant input and a nagging push to improve what you're doing. All of that combined can be worth more than the actual money.
- mscasts 7y agoI have seen people say this on HN over and over again. But it's not like most people who start businesses lacks vision. If you got a vision and start to earn enough money to sustain yourself you are free to hunt whatever vision you want. > constant input and a nagging push to improve what you're doing I get why this can be good, but honestly it sounds terrible when you lay it out like that. If I want to be nagged on, I would just get married.
