Are there necessary credentials for being hired by a YC startup? I never had that impression. Edit: Not trying to be snarky, I just wouldn't foresee the average YC company putting red tape in someone's way if the person demonstrates enthusiasm and value and the company is looking to grow. Since you got hired by one YC company, even if you felt underqualified, I'd guess there are probably multiple YC companies out there who would hire you. So it seems possible that these 'necessary credentials' weren't real requirements in the first place, just imagined ones.
