Question: How was your traction before you guys joined YC?

>We're now powering production websites and apps for hundreds of teams around the world across various use-cases.

I guess I don't understand why would anyone join an accelerator with this level of traction. Seems that fundraising should be pretty straightforward.

We had good traction before YC. But YC comes with many benefits, not just fundraising.

I fully agree. What was the #1 factor for you to join the program?

Hard to boil it down to just one. The dedicated help in improving the company, the network, and others are the biggest.
