Anyone have an idea as to how so many Y-Combinator companies get this kind of mind blowingly awesome press? is it just the brand recognition of being a YC company?
- kitcar 15y ago2 main cases I would guess: 1) Big press is now interested in YCombinator, and therefore reaches out independently to YCombinator companies 2) YCombinator staff+alum have press relationships from previous businesses/life, and therefore are able to provide a "warm" intro for the startup. If the startup has a good story, the press is receptive.
- ABrandt 15y agoI can't speak to any other YC company, but I think drchrono certainly stands on its own merits here. Great looking product + hot industry + ongoing major news topic = mind blowingly awesome press.
