The only YC founder I knew told me I had no shot

His logic: I still had a full-time job. I hadn't taken the plunge. YC wouldn't take me seriously.

We applied anyway. Both of us still in full-time jobs. First application. Almost zero network.

We got in. W22.

Every reason people give for not applying? We had them all.

YC Fall 2026 deadline is tomorrow, July 27 at 8pm PT.

If you're holding back because you think you're too early, don't have enough customers, still have a job, or don't know anyone in YC: none of that matters.

Just apply: https://t.co/J50EnskoYP

I got in because a random YC founder offered to review my application. Now it's my turn.

Comment or DM me. Happy to review yours.

Tap and Hold to see how to rank your brand in top on AI

[Siftly (YC W22) @SiftlyAI]

@lilyraynyc @DavidKonitzny This matches what we're seeing too! ChatGPT is getting more selective with sources.

The brands that still get cited are usually the ones with strong entity signals + consistent third-party mentions. Great research as always.

[Chalam PVS @Chalam_PVS]

We at @SiftlyAI are working with @PromptQL to make sure they are the answer on ChatGPT and other platforms when people search for an AI-native Slack

It has always felt crazy watching Tanmai and crew build out at this pace

Huge congrats to the team 🎉

[Siftly (YC W22) @SiftlyAI]

Most companies are missing the search shift.

90% of B2B buyers now use ChatGPT & other LLMs to find software (Forrester).

Yet, only ~59% of brands in Google’s top results appear in ChatGPT (Siftly research).

High time for brands to realise that LLM visibility is the new SEO.

[Siftly (YC W22) @SiftlyAI]

Track 3 things: inclusion, rank, citations and ship changes tied to those.

[Siftly (YC W22) @SiftlyAI]

Most “prompt tracking” dashboards are shit.

You don’t need 200 prompts -you only need 12 that mirror your funnel and rerun.

Copy-paste this:
TOFU: “best [category] tools for [ICP]”
MOFU: “[Brand] vs [Competitor] for [use case]”
BOFU: “Is [Brand] good for [specific outcome]?”

[Siftly (YC W22) @SiftlyAI]

GEO checklist after GPT-5:

• Ship 10-15 on-site Answer Units for prompts you must win
• Add FAQ/HowTo/Person schema
• Publish an “AI-readme”
• Expose light JSON/OpenAPI for pricing, features, status
• Seed 2 credible third-party mentions/week
• Track it across models

[Siftly (YC W22) @SiftlyAI]

No, your Domain Rating isn’t why ChatGPT ignores you.

While everyone’s chasing DR 80, we have brands with DR 18 show up in LLM lists.

Here's what you should do -
- Map 10 prompts (TOFU→BOFU).
- Log appearances vs. DR for 10 competitors.
- Push 2 credible source placements/week

[Siftly (YC W22) @SiftlyAI]

SEO vs LLMO
Here's what works:

- Brand mentions > backlinks (Ahrefs found mentions drive visibility)
- Omnipresence in relevant listicles
- Topical authority & semantic relevance matter
- Ditch keyword stuffing. Think in natural language and answer questions your users ask.

1/18 At our YC interview, Michael Seibel asked a question that really stuck: "What would you learn if your startup (Tingo) shut down in 2 years?" It felt like a bolt from the blue. But it turned out, the question was prophetic. A thread... #startups @ycombinator
