Not affiliated with YC, but here are some reasons about why B2B would be more appealing to YC. YC offers a big competitive advantage to B2B (especially tech B2B) through its network. YC offers a large network of potential customers and early adopters for new or growing B2B businesses. Access to the YC network makes it easier to get a B2B off the ground. Many B2B applicants to YC already have some traction and use YC to help take off. This kind of applicant is obviously attractive to YC because it is low-risk. Also, with B2B companies, it is much easier to avoid the Achilles Heel of B2C, which is that the cost to acquire a user ends up being higher than the revenue that user generates. Even if there is decent product-market fit, consumers generally have tight budgets. With B2B, one sale can generate thousands in ARR, which makes hiring a sales team to close those deals scalable.
