Any other program that at least comes close to YC?
Is there any other program than YC that has a similarly high reputation. Maybe Techstars or 500Startups. I heard that those programs are quite good but not very good compared to YC.
- cj 11y agoI did YC in 2012 and am in Techstars NYC currently with a new company. YC's reputation is probably 2x stronger than Techstars, but that doesn't directly translate to a 2x higher value-add. Both programs are a lot different and will jumpstart your company. They've both been 100% worth it. Note: Techstars programs between cities can be dramatically different (different people running each city), so I can only speak for Techstars NYC.

- commaander 11y agoOk, I get it. What about 500 startups? But you're right Being in Boston or Boulder can be quite different.
