Does the $15K help you eat for any significant amount of time?
Let's say t will take a year for your startup to take off or make it to a funding event. For 3 people, you'd be splitting $415/month. Some people can make that kind of income with one day of IT consulting, so there are workarounds to getting into YC.
Again, don't get me wrong: if you are accepted, by all means take the offer!
- jlees 18y agoI didn't really just mean YC's money, more the unfeasability of ignoring all concerns but the code. Obviously some people (the IT consultant you mention, or those laid off with a nice severance, etc) don't really have their empty fridges as so much of a motivation ;) I wouldn't really expect a startup to operate on $15k for a year; the whole point is you use it as a springboard for further funding, surely?
