We're not in AI :( and it seems like YC isn't interested in our space. Outside of the current wave of interest in AI I think we would have serious interest. Would you still apply, or wait?
- dang 2y agoThis should occupy 0% of your attention. If you're the kind of founder YC would fund, applying with an AI idea vs a non-AI idea won't change anything. YC supports founders. It's as simple as that, hard as that is to believe, given the assumptions many people make. The reason AI startups are so prominent in recent batches is that it's what many founders want to work on. If you're the type of founder YC funds and you want to work on something else, YC will support you to work on that. If at some point it's clear that it's not working, they may advise you to change—but not because of the AI bit.
