- mattmaroon 18y agoWill you be applying for the next batch? Come on in and drink the Kool-Aid. Or, more accurately, the Goya.
- unalone 18y agoI'm a college student, so when I apply it will probably be for one of the summer rounds. While I'm fine with abandoning college for a bit to work on something if it picks up steam, I don't want to miss a semester actually beginning the project. Or does that not make sense with YC? I already feel like a newbie, though. I haven't the faintest idea what Goya is.
- mattmaroon 18y agoIt doesn't really make sense with startups in general. You can't tell much after the two months or so before you have to decide on going back to school. You're lucky to just launch something by then, let alone iterate, let usage define your future, seek funding, etc. I'd be more inclined to just finish school and then do it. And it's fruit juice.
- unalone 18y agoAh, gotcha. I don't know. On the one hand, I feel like applying and really seeing where this idea of mine can go. On the other, I'm not certain if it's the best idea, to want to test my concepts out so early. But four years' wait right now seems like pretty awfully long.
- mattmaroon 18y agoCan you take a year off of school? I feel like a very large number of startup founders that ended up successful probably would not have seen much evidence that that would happen within two or three months.
- unalone 18y agoI can, yeah. I would be completely willing to do that, too. At the same time, I still wouldn't want to miss my first two semesters. And I don't think there's much of a loss to be had waiting an extra few months.
- maximilian 18y agoIts extremely delicious tropical fruit juice in flavors like Mango and Peach that has a heavenly mouthfeel and drinks way too fast. "Fruit juice" alludes to like welches or something similar.
- unalone 18y agoWow. This Y Combinator thing suddenly seems even more tempting.
