You can still apply multiple times after getting rejected. There’s plenty of stories of companies/founders that only got into YC after several rejections
To be honest, if I were in their situation I wouldn’t apply again, but it could be a good move regardless
- jacquesm 3y agoI'm not sure what YC's stance is on investing in established businesses, but in the VC world as a rule it is 'not done' to invest in multiple competitors active in the same field. That path is rife with conflicts of interest.
- nico 3y agoYou are right. Not sure about their official policy, but I know of multiple instances of where they’ve invested on competitors of their own companies Sometimes this happens without them even knowing, because they put money into a company very early on, then the company pivots and starts competing with another YC company
- jacquesm 3y agoAll of the VCs I'm involved with would definitely have a problem with that.
- ewe 3y agoI'm not sure at this point I want to apply and talk about our company's vision and mission.
- jacquesm 3y agoObviously... that would make a whole pile of assumptions and my put you in an even more difficult spot.
