Linkbait and strawman. "Why didn’t we apply to what seems like a necessary program to launch a startup these days?" Even PG would not claim that YC is "a necessary program to launch a startup."
- pg 16y agoIt is indeed pretty clever to claim that doing something the majority of startups do is a bold move and worthy of attention on that account. (I wish the majority of new startups applied to YC, but that is almost certainly not the case.)
- strebel 16y agoThink you are missing the point. I am asking 'is' it necessary, really? The trend is going in the direction that to be considered 'legit' a startup is compelled to participate. The 500 check in hand investors at the latest demo-day speaks to the tail wagging the dog cycle that is beginning.
