Let me disagree. Applications are 6 months apart, this makes it for new applicants statistically ~3months + the time until acceptance makes roughly 4months.
Considering that lots of startup founders apply many times before being accepted, the median is easily in the years range.
- pg 13y agoThe median application is submitted about 2 days before the deadline. It seems misleading to consider multiple applications, since we're talking here about the time between applying and getting money or a no.
- read 13y agoAre you referring to the median funded application or the median submitted application? You had mentioned the day before the deadline applications are submitted at a rate of one per minute, which is bound to bring the median closer to the deadline, but only YC knows how many of the applications submitted during the last 2 days were funded. The median funded application could be submitted 2 months before that for all we know. If it's the median funded application, shouldn't you be correspondingly alarmed YC-funded startups apply 2 days before the deadline? Would setting more deadlines (having more funding cycles) generate more YC startups?
