Congrats!
I'm intrigued that YC is doing more non-web/non-SW startups: Wattvision and Propable in this batch. Does YC add just as much value in such different areas?
- unalone 18y agoI'd think that YC's contact network and funding would help a lot of different people - and I love that they're doing things based on more physical products. (I also really like PicWing for that reason.)
- JacobAldridge 18y agoOne of the basic premises of my firm (Shirlaws) is that all businesses are the same once you remove what they actually do. In other words, the business advice, perspective and experience YC bring will apply just as well. Note - this is based on my understanding, which is that YC help with the business not sitting down and helping you code.
- ryanwaggoner 18y agoall businesses are the same once you remove what they actually do no offense, but this makes almost no sense. I mean, I guess when you remove what reader's digest, ycombinator, and my local model train shop all actually do, they're "the same" in that they have customers and exist to make a profit, but that's hardly a practical or helpful piece of information.
