YC isnt the only investors around. I obviously can't speak for PG, but from my understanding of YC the program is run twice a year on the same schedule. I have never heard of a YC company starting earlier, especially since they haven't had the chance to review all the applications and potential candidates.
PG may make personal investments outside of YC, but then you lose access to the program. There are many other routes you can go for fund raising... Angels, normal VCs, bootstrap consulting or one of the other programs similar to YC. Those programs may fit your schedule and geographic location better.
- jlgosse 17y agoI know about the paths available, and all of them are all very viable options for us in the future. I was mostly just wondering if it ever happens outside of the normal funding rounds. We will probably be looking for some sort of funding in the future, and it will probably be through angels or VCs. At this point however, we haven't even really started on much outside of brainstorming and early design, so we won't be worrying about anything like funding yet.
