I think you are answering your own question, with which I personally agree with. One question popped up though: which are the yc companies that entered YC at relatively later stage and were they successful/ beneficial to them to be in yc?
YCs value is undoubtably incredible for very early stage companies. I wondering how that value stacks up to later stages
- accountoftheday 14y agoI assume this is not really a problem because YC are in some cases prepared to deviate from their typical equity ask.
- nchuhoai 14y agoI wasn't talking about the cost of YC. As an early stage company you go from 0 to 10mil. If you are already a 1-2 mil, where do you go?
- nirvana 14y agoAre you saying that the top YC companies on demo day get funded at valuations of ~$10M? I can believe that but I wonder if there's any data... for instance I wonder what the top and average valuation of TechStars companies is at demo day. If you've built something worth 1-2M you could go into YC and presumably end up with a 10-12M valuation at the end. Not the same growth percentage wise but the same in terms of dollar amount.
