- tptacek 3y agoVoluntarily not raised A rounds. What do people think happens if you don't raise after YC? YC isn't a conventional VC firm. They don't take board seats. They don't need you to shoot the moon (they'd like it if you do, but they're not structurally dependent on it). They are in fact pretty chill about you going on to bootstrap after your batch wraps up.
- brianwawok 3y agoTrue, but a big reason to use YC is for the fundraising contacts. If you never go to A, you gave away a lot of your company for not a lot of money.
