Based on your situation, I'd say no.
Why don't you do your startup now from home, grow it a little and see if its a viable model, and then apply when you start getting some traction?
Because right now you are talking about uprooting your whole life over a 1-2% chance of success.
- spoiledtechie 18y agoThis is what I have been doing, but gosh sometimes I can't get a little help from my friends.
- ryanwaggoner 18y agoI guess it depends on how you define "success", but I think the chances of the YC startups getting more out of it than they put in is higher than 1-2%. Even if they end up folding the startup, just having been accepted into YC and having the network probably changes your career path significantly.
