what a streeeeeeetch!!
I’m one founder who has great admiration for YC, but I just don’t think they have the key to startup success. I think this should be clear in all HN readers mind despite the hype around here. Ultimately it will serve the startup world very well that YC get competitors, because no matter their commitment they will not spot all future success.
The more these YC style company exist the better chances are good startup will get exposure. Who knows the ones PG missed can actually become tomorrow’s big idea.
I have been playing around searching for people I know, I came to know that a friend of mine and a close neighbor have court records. One had his house foreclosed before and one had a misdemeanor, I don’t know what to think.
Saying this for the only service you're actually paying for say much about what you truly believe about paying for startup services.
