And if $14k is all you got, you would be correct. I feel like this is a test that screens out founders who don't understand value.

- balls187 13y agoEDIT: Sorry, I just took a look at your LinkedIn Profile (love drinking Karhu in a Sauna btw...) It doesn't appear that you've created any startups, so I'm curious how you came to the opinion that YC is Hype and not worth the value to founders, if you yourself have not been a founder (and presumably) not gone through an accelerator?
- nawitus 13y agoAh, the goold old ad hominem attack. Clearly you can't review any movies because you're probably not a director?
- balls187 13y agoIt wasn't an attack at all. My question was very sincere--I was very curious how you've come to the opinion that YC isn't valuable to founders. > Clearly you can't review any movies because you're probably not a director? You shouldn't review a movie, until you've watched it. Also are we discussing movie reviews, or discussing whether YC is worth it?

- mikeg8 13y agoIf by "better deal elsewhere" you mean access to the same high quality advice, mentorship, and support the YC community provides (as expressed in this article and the tons of others like it), the answer is no, you cannot get that elsewhere. It doesn't exist. Most people in the startup world recognise that and that is how YC got it's hype. It is unmatched in the intangibles the YC experience provides and those intangibles have proven better at building successful startups than any alternatives. But keep looking for your better deal...
