YC hand out a cheque when you accept their offer. That's it until you secure other funding or revenue.
Doing a startup is a (significant) lifestyle choice. So if your GF is on board with that, and is happy a part of it, then just apply. If not, then you've got some bigger issues to wrestle with.
- paul7986 18y agoJust apply! If you get accepted go to your friends and family and ask if they can provide a security blanket in case nothing becomes of your work at YC. That would allow you to find employment if need be! If you do get accepted stretch the resources as far as possible! Find roommates and eat like a poor man(do not go out to eat)!
