Please don't make this the new normal required to get funding. It's already insane as it is how much entrepreneurs are expected to carry the expense and risk at this point.
- plehoux 6y agoWe did try to get into YC a couple of years ago and made it to the interview. From the rejection email: "However we struggled to convince ourselves that enough people would find this useful enough to switch from Gmail and to pay for an email client." In the end, getting venture capital always seemed so time-consuming that we never contemplated the idea of doing it seriously apart from YC.
- HeyLaughingBoy 6y agoWho else would you expect to bear the risk & expense if not the entrepreneur? Isn't that the very description of the word?
