Ask PG: What does YC think of dev bootcamps for non-technical founders?
The focus is on how YC views development bootcamps, and, if possible, which ones PG holds on higher regard when looking for a founder.
- zmitri 13y agoThey invested in One Month Rails (https://onemonthrails.com https://onemonthrails.com) so I am guessing they have some faith in that one -- or faith in their growth numbers.
- franciscomello 13y agoI am not sure. You know how the saying goes, One Month Rails is supplying jeans to miners in the Gold Rush. I am not sure if buying the jeans (not a perfect metaphor, I know) and mining is the right path. PG and YC (by reading the Launchpad book) are very adamant in their view of technical founders. I am confused if an MBA with a strong bootcamp base would be considered a thoroughbred.
- zmitri 13y agoI was talking about a bootcamp they had faith in. Investing money means they have some faith in it.
- franciscomello 13y agoAgain, as investors in the company, not in the people that come out of their training, which is my question!
