that amount of money is that ridicusly small in order to attract only students out of school. I can't think of anybody with solid experience using YC. 15k is enough for 3 students for 3 months. Somebody that has been working for a while, has probably a lot more money than that. I have friends that saved money, quit, and now are doing their startup and living off their savings. The only thing that YC might be usefull is some free publicity, and contacts, which are very useful especially if your product is of dubios value.
