Most surprising quote to me was this: If you have some kind of b2c or Enterprise business, all you will get is a knowledge exchange with homies. YC does not have any industrial partners, and YC partners themselves will not do external intros since this is a big part of other accelerators' pitch. Obviously YC can't compete with vertical-focused accelerators for depth of industry knowledge and day-to-day access to corporate sponsors, but knowing when and who and how to approach is one of the biggest challenges for an early stage startup and one where I'd assume YC's network was big enough to add value (beyond a list of companies to send cold emails to indiscriminately)
- dang 4y agoI don't know what "industrial partners" are but "YC partners will not do external intros" is not true, and a weird thing to say since it wouldn't be in their interest.
