The two biggest time-sucks for YC alumni seem to be talking to investors and dealing with visa problems.
- aristus 18y agoAn interesting thing about YC is that it saves time spent securing funding at the early seed stage: a week on the application and a week preparing for the interview, with a definite yes or no by a certain date. Can you see later stage investors (100k, 500k, etc) doing the same thing?
- pg 18y agoThey certainly could be a lot more efficient about it than they are now.
- ivankirigin 18y agoDo you think you would be closer to typical investors if you had "rolling admissions" like they do?
- pg 18y agoYes, in a sense. We just couldn't deal with as many startups if we had rolling admissions. So that would mean funding fewer, which would let us take longer deciding.
- tomsaffell 18y agoThose experiencing visa problems may benefit from getting a lawyer involved (if they don't already). I can recommend mine (in SF): Richard Kolomejec. I have nothing to gain from making this recommendation.
