Because of the character limit I wrote religion to end of question. Please interprete it as religion/beliefs or anything which describes what makes you you. Did anybody had a similar experience?

I wish you were not insulting me couple of times and being arrogant. Anyhow lets focus on more VC side of things and alternatives like who are the best known VCs/angels who belives in coexist?

I already said before that I am respectful to all Human beings so I hope there is no misunderstanding over there and apologize if i sounded the other way around. In terms of what i believe praying for other people is a result of respect and i do belive you will respect what i believe. Matter fact that you were true about being arragont in terms of what i belive, i should be saying only God can change things and we can only ask for it, once again those are in terms of what i do belive with all respect to others.

You have my respect too. Good point for customer side of things.I will research more about that, all I can say is if somebody dont want to buy something from me or want to return because of my religion then i would let them to do so after trying to convince them why they are wrong about my religion if they listen for sure.

I do repect what you think. If you are right with item 1 then I will not lose anything. If we drop a blank Iphone under the soil the propability of it's coming out with ios9 is same as propability of item 1 for me, just to influence you; think about the same thing for a human DNA. For me I am rich when I do live according to what I do beleive.

After learning can not get for sure, money is just a tool. But wanted to learn from other people by hoping to get some advice about alternatives.

I do respect other people, I am HUMAN first of all and pray for all people to find the right path. But can not respect people who do not respect their selfs. Although I do respect people who thinks they came from monkeys, it becomes very funny when they claim other people ANIMAL and their self HUMANs.

What about YC?

Everybody has an unique tongue/mouth so a taste which is connected to old memories. I do beleive temp control is good if someone want to automate their receipe but for new cookers it is like casting double to short, best tastes can be only found with tons of expriments by trying never tried.

Imo it is about overcomitting in life style, it is about getting used to something you never have. Be hungry at young age, do once for all!

End of IOT era again! What was the name of IOT at dot com boom?

That means lots of burnout runway!

Imo the way they thought and executed made HP failed, i do hope 30K includes all bad decision makers.

Dont even bother, it took me ayear to get a pen from the service and eventually got wrong one. It is not worth your time, health and money. Just get rid of what you have and move on.

Quantum computing!

Did you applied with the same idea with more progress?

Would love to hear more about your experience and what was the top 3 do and dont that you can share

If you see selling your company as a lottery then you fouled your self long time ago about what you are doing in life. I do like my work/effort speak for itself. I do respect your opinion and have a peace with it.

I do wish application reflects being accelerator by filtering people in the beginning who needs incubation. I wish there is a quick and easy way of bootstrapping the network and connections for a successful exit.

i think thats is the best thing can happen as i would never get such kind of VCs or especially angels money.would love to hear real stroies, any links? i think it is almost equal to you love someone and getting no with no explanation.

I wish I can show you the fire in me about my startup! If you were knew me you were seen the determination. But 20 fellowship where min 10 will be remote out of 6500, dont you agree the lottery part. Can people say rejection email from YC is not soul crashing(), unless you knew it will not work out.

It's true that I gave up applying to YC but not my dreams!

I was thinking YC is for what you just explained in second paragraph. I do remember the SV scene where guy says "i can not guide you unless you give me something to guide" May be this startup world is a big lie!

You need to add comments and be part of the wave, isnt PG checks HN although he has no contribution to HN last two years even as an user, what a metric? One day if i made couple of million dollars with my stupid startup, i will do a better job. Especially to the part where you say "we will reject you most likely but send it anyways"

Could you please define the YC type founder?

Rejections are ok, but the ones with a template email is not! I dont hear anybody being rejected from a VC or an angel with a template based email!

They are getting a huge database to mine. You share your idea, progress and other things, but they dont even get time to provide a feedback! Not even focus on this or that type. Also dont forget stupid show us if we were wrong type sentences.

IMO there is no question about benefits when you get in, i am more focusing to process.

It seems most of the people afraid of commenting, thanks for the silent ack!

Solo founder = no insurance, idea needs to be easy to execute with lots of user base and growth 2 co founders = insurance, but not the best if technical guy is not that technical. 3 co founders = more insurance, best option, think about it even if you screw one or two you are good.

As as Solo founder do you have hope at all when it comes to applying to YC? Please no BS about startups are hard you need help thing!

Search for "how startup funding works" by Anna Vital. You will realize that YC is uncle.

i think problem is wys is not wyg. Someone wants to surf and we are becoming the wave.

I would love to hear alternatives.

You can do all those with out applying, even with lottery they tell which numbers wins. If the sharing idea is not an issue why they don't share the winning ones? If sharing the idea is an issue then there is a price you sharing yours then?
