Don't apply. Real men make it on their own.
If you think 18k$ and a bunch of geeks running around is what your project needs to be successful, maybe its time to rethink your strategy.
- jnovek 16y agoSuit yourself, but Y-Combinator was a big help for us. I personally wouldn't place my startup at a disadvantage just to prove that I'm a "real man".

- Dn_Ab 16y agoI can't tell if you're serious as yours is a throw away account. Now, I'm not applying to YC (wrong continent and other issues) But I disagree with your general sentiment. Clearly you can't put all your eggs in one basket and must always have a plan B thru Z+, however what makes real men or women for that matter is the ability to know their limits and the ability to seek or delegate help to fortify and complement said limits. There is no room for pride in real humans. Also, don't underestimate the effects of (a) the feedback effects of each successful generation (b) the motivational aspects of being surrounded by like minded, determined, hard working people chasing their dreams (c) the networking and prestige bonuses. The $18k is just gravy. Real men and women are pragmatic, they put aside pride and do whatever it takes - within reason of course - to ensure success.
