So you got funding from YCombinator without a concrete plan to make a business? That's pretty interesting, I always thought they wanted profitable businesses, and turned down ideas they didn't think would work.
Great to hear they're betting on open-source more!
- bfirsh 6y agoFunnily we applied with a different thing. We tried a number of different ideas before we settled on this lower-level thing, as I describe in the main comment. Even still, I think most people apply to YC without a concrete plan of how to make a business. It's normally so early stage, that the plan is yet to be validated and will probably change. A "plausible" plan is perhaps a better way to put it. ;)
