One of the biggest potential boosts to being a YC founder is launching a B2B startup to prior successful YC companies - since even landing a few would make a significant impact both in terms of revenue and easy of future sales. Putting aside YC, generally speak B2B businesses have a higher survival rate than B2C — which is saying a lot given that sales cycles in B2B tend to be much, much longer. All that said, in my experience, founders with less experience tend to focus on B2C because by default most people have experience buying consumer products & services, much fewer have significant experience buying business services & products. People tend to focus on what they know. As for the B2X2Z keep it simple, find a business you’re familiar with, model the business, then model another, etc — the practice in modeling existing business will help you actually understand how to model a business. I would start with something like the Business Model Canvas, though no model is prefect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Model_Canvas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_Model_Canvas Googling “business model canvas examples” or “business model canvas [a-z]” where a-z is the first letter of a specific existing business or industry will pull up related examples.
