There’s a lot of different ways to build a business.
YC promotes one path of doing so (the VC funded path). If your incentives as a founder aligns with YC’s values and interests, then it can be a great value add.
But for every company that’s a fit for YC, there are a lot of companies that absolutely aren’t a good fit (e.g. if you’re planning on bootstrapping, you should steer clear of YC).
There’s no 1 right way to get a business off the ground.
- sharemywin 3y agoI think the point was just because your a "good fit" for YC doesn't mean the odds are with you. It's similar to the lotto moto. "you can win if you don't play".
- ethanbond 3y agoIf this is news to you, you definitely shouldn’t be starting a VC backed company. (“You” being the proverbial “you”)
