How does debuting your app on news.yc affect a possible future application to yc?
- dawie 19y agoI guess it will help you, because it gives you some face time with the YC founders. The reason I would debut my site here is if it fails it will happen quickly and early on. That means that I won't be wasting time on something that's not worth it.
- webwright 19y agoCan't hurt. If YC thinks YC founders are smart, and YC Founders think your app is cool/well-done, it's likely that YC will give a more serious look to what you've built. (disclosure: I've never applied to YC. I think I'm too old!)
- gyro_robo 19y agoToo old? You're never too old. I think people don't do themselves any favors by disqualifying themselves, in ANY arena. If someone else wants to, they can, but that's their problem -- always be confident you bring a lot to the table and others may miss out. Humans are not infallible machines. It's like playing chess against someone: if you play you always have a chance, and your chances are only ever 0% if you resign.
- herdrick 19y agoHow old are you?
- pg 19y agoUsually not much one way or the other.
- falsestprophet 19y agoWhat do you know?
- brlewis 19y agoWhy the downmods? Isn't it reasonable to expect that anyone reading here would recognize "What do you know" as a joke?
