In the most recent application round, they did specifically ask about money in the application. And they asked my team about money in the interview as well (with a visibly negative reaction from an interviewer when the number we gave was smaller than he apparently wanted to hear). Please don't assume that your experience is the same as everyone else's. Perhaps the fact that you already have a strong community gave you a free pass with regard to money issues.
- dariusmonsef 14y agoMy bad. Mistyped. He specifically said they didn't focus on $ in the app. Yes there is a question that asks about it. (We review applications too), But that isn't a core focus in the application. And its a bit ironic to tell me no to assume my experience is the same as everyone else's on a blog post telling everyone else how to treat the YC interview, no? I've said this many times before and perhaps need to include it on every comment regarding startup advice. There are some common concepts, useful general practices, etc. But it's a very different experience for all of us. There is no general advice that will work every time for everyone. Take ideas that work well with you... leave the rest.
