Our team put a lot of thought into deciding whether YC was a good fit for Ambition (YCw14) - well, after it was a possible option - as my cofounders actually didn't know I'd applied to YC for us until we were invited to interview.
We thought (as many do) YC was largely for consumer, idea stage companies, and that B2B was not a focus.
Demo Day was yesterday; YC has been an incredible experience and value add for Ambition. The partners are incredibly smart and apply product/ market/ sales expertise across various industries Cumulatively they have seen everything, so the knowledge base is deep.
Targeting customer segments, simplifying product, meeting investors, and being strategic about marketing, partnerships, and media.
Bottom line: our company is probably years ahead of where we were in Dec 2013. We now have a backlog of customers, relationships with a great group of investors/ partners, and our product is delivering.
If you're doing enterprise or B2B, I would strongly recommend looking at YC.
