FWIW - unlike Amir, we didn't have a "startup" track record, we weren't coming out of (or dropping out of) Harvard, Stanford or MIT. We also didn't have anyone from YC in our network. Oh and we were probably 10 yrs older than everyone else... So, while there is a stereotypical YC founder... it's not a hard and fast rule. You have to be resourceful. Get things done. We also reached out to YC alum and found them to be very helpful.
