What is it you actually want out of YC funding? It sounds like you've got a good handle on business. This is the kind of thing banks are for. Why not get a real small business loan? Seed/VC funding is speculative. You're well past that point.
What you're doing is like a scientist trying to find grants at a high school science fair. Try pitching a bank instead of YC.
- bluelightning2k 4y agoI've got ~zero burn atm (because I'm funding my small team of 5 with my old company). So I don't absolutely need funding. But I still think YC has huge value, just I'm going to do it either way. What I specifically want is to put all my focus into the new product and not have to split my time across my companies. And to go fast, as in many years of trying I've not seen such levels of interest as my current thing gets.
