Ask HN: Will YC ever fund another YC?
What if a startup with the same nature business as YC itself applies to YC?
- jc123 12y agoI think it's possible that they could fund an innovative, perhaps decentralized, somewhat crowdfunded, YC-like DAO (decentralized autonomous organization).
- powertry 12y agoCan a University fund another university, I doubt YC funding another YC. However, can PG fund/enable another YC? Maybe :).
- lifeisstillgood 12y agoWhy do startups in general apply to YC? For expert mentorin from people who have done it 700 times before, for a fantastic Rolodex and a badge that will at least get you a coffee from most VCs and CTOs. If you were just copying YC, I doubt they would add much value. If you were doing YC-for-a-niche then maybe. I suspect YC for Africa would get some interest, YC-for-biotech maybe less.
