24 hours left to apply to @ycombinator batch.
I'm in the F26 batch and YC is the best thing that happened to me. here are some tips for the brave founders applying.
- be yourself
- be honest
- clear and concise answers
- don't use jargon and talk in simple English
- know what you are taking about in every detail
- show quick growth on your business
- explain why someone would pay for it
- your idea does not matter as much as the vision or the execution
- it should be extremely ambitious. like planetary or multi planetary scale vision!
- you are the most exceptional person to build your company, explain what makes you exceptional
If I can help you, let me know!
