Got it. Thank you for the reply. We both work in technology, so we do know people but were honestly hoping YC could help us with a sort of road map. The idea is worth what we may have to overcome.
I'm mid-application for the YC Winter 2016 cycle, but I'm concerned because neither my cofounder nor I come from a technical background, yet our idea is technical. Do you see this as a deterrent to being accepted?
It seems if you wish to retain more control and give up less of your company, it would make more sense to scale slowly. Are VCs and other investors typically pushing product to market faster, in turn creating this landscape?
