I am highly technical, and both ideas are mine. However, I have two different teams because the startup required different expertise. For instance, one is software, where I am the CEO (1/3), and the other is hardware, where I am the Head of AI (1/3). I entrusted the CEO position to my friend, who has more hardware knowledge. I can’t leave both teams because they are both quite capable. I have closed pilot deals in both, and they have received positive reviews.
- andsoitis 11mo agoOk and when you ask “how can I manage both”, what specifically are you referring to? Are you referring to load balancing your time (prioritization?) or do you mean something else?
- rafruf 11mo agoShould I apply to YC from both companies? Alternatively, should I refrain from applying to one? I can easily manage my time. However, I’m unsure about how to present my case or how to effectively communicate it to investors or other stakeholders.
- andsoitis 11mo agoTricky. I do not know how YC looks at that. However my instinct would be to just stay the course (you involved at current level on both AND both apply). You’ll learn something from the experience and I doubt it would be a disqualifier. If you’re still worried, do a little research to see whether there have been similar cases in the past.
