@ycombinator@garrytan@snowmaker@xuster Unfortunate, but out of my control.
Reminding myself to accept the situation and keep solving problems.
If any sessions, recordings, or resources are available online, I’d love to go through them.
Back to building.
Got accepted to YC Startup School on March 19, was genuinely excited. Booked a flight for today (Apr 18, 6:40 AM) to attend.
Just before leaving, flight was cancelled due to runway restrictions at Pune. No alternate flights in time. 😭

@stonksqween Is it due to last-minute flight issues at Pune airport? I’m facing the same issue.
Really disappointing. YC comes to India, somehow we get a spot, we start preparing for it & then something completely out of your control happens. This is what life is about accept it & work on
@Varnika99 1) Understand the problem you are solving
Note all the services you provide/emotions you're up to deliver
2) Know who/what you’re targeting, then explore similar designs online
3) Collect designs & draw them
4) Ask non-customers what they understand from the logo
And it will
@kritikakodes Clones? Agree. But an original architecture with a clear USP? Disagree. The value isn't in 'buying a product'—it's in how you handled distributed transactions, caching, or custom UI patterns. Engineering > Templates.
