I think getting in is not prestigious in and of itself.
Creating a successful startup is prestigious.
But getting into YC and then failing wouldn't look especially great on your resume ( at least to most observers ).
- Major_Grooves 18y agoI don't think failing would look bad per se. There are a lot of learnings that can be taken from failure. Better to have tried and learnt, than to never try!
- MaysonL 18y agoIt would depend upon why you failed. Failure because you just gave up, not so good. Failure because Google bought you, and then deadpooled you: eh, not so bad. Failure because after 6 months of living in an EDAR [1] you still weren't ramen profitable: a bit too stubborn for corporate existence, better try another startup.
