That is the right question to ask. People will made due -- not all the money needs to come from YC. Personal savings, credit cards, friends & family (both money and spare bedrooms), etc. make up the difference.
- mrtron 19y agoSpare bedroom can save a tremendous amount of money for you, and it isn't much of a sacrifice if you are a good guest. An underrated startup technique :)
