So a good reason to do YC? I am confused... Plenty of YC companies fail but part of being in YC is the network so you can start another company, work at another YC or work for YC. That basically de-risks startups immeasurably.
- benreesman 5y agoBeing backed by YC is one of the best indicators that a startup will succeed. I’d advise almost anyone doing a startup to seek funding from YC. I tend to get pretty cranky (as you can see) about the old-boys network that’s emerged around it, but that in no way diminishes the value to a founder of being in that network.
