Hi Michael. I appreciate your candidness and openness to accept counterpoints. How would you evaluate a startup that’s only a couple weeks old, however close to shipping a prototype but probably won’t have time to get users by Sunday ( YC deadline ). It’s an idea that could generate a billion jobs and hence we feel it’s better to get YC support than try to grow it slower with a revenue model. Should we apply anyways or wait to get traction and apply late?
In my experience, the answer is almost always “just apply” - there’s no harm in it and answering the questions can be helpful to consider various aspects of your idea in more detail.
True. It’s just going to physically hurt if the hurried demo doesn’t do the idea justice. Won’t be fair to the scope and scale of the idea. I guess just apply is the answer regardless. Thanks!
