Ask YC: Will you still consider startups without immediate revenue models?
I'm sort of wondering whether we're really at that point where only the apps that save money or add value will really get funding, let alone survive. Are we basically scrapping the idea of relying on ad revenue or acquisitions entirely? Just hoping to get some feedback from someone inside YC, or even anyone else in the HN community.
- pg 18y agoOf course. Though the plan for startups without a source of revenue should not be to rely on acquisitions (a suicidal strategy) but try to create one.
- jmtame 18y agoCool. I didn't want it to sound as if we would rely on an acquisition. I guess all of the talk about the economy made me curious as to whether you guys will judge apps differently (although I would think the team remains one of the most important aspects). Thanks for following up.
