@evamoree All programs where you have to pay to attend and raise more money for your startups are not good programs. All programs where they want you to commit to them but they don't invest as soon as you commit are not good programs.

@evamoree Depends where you're located. If accepted, in some locations, Antler give you some stipends for the entire program. In others, they give you nothing and you're not guaranteed to raise money at the end of the program. From my point of view, there are better programs.

@meki Why did you choose Clerky? What are the advantages compared to Stripe Atlas for example?

@lastounceofhope Apply when you feel it's better for your startup. If you think your application will be stronger with your product ready then apply when your product is ready. I don't think YC is first come, first served. You won't harm your application by applying by the deadline (or even...

@meki How much does the entire process cost you? Do they provide a business bank account? How much does it cost to close your business? In what state did you incorporate?

Hey community!! Can you answer this for me? What payment gateway do you use at the moment? Do you have to pay a monthly fee or something? What percentage do they take from your MRR? What happens if you generate $0 MRR? Do you get some sort of penalty?

@standingrightministry Amazing!!

@pmsh If you get accepted to YC maybe move there for the duration of the program. The 3-month length will give you time to network with founders and investors. When the program ends go live in a city that you want to live in regardless of what YC promotes on their youtube channel. By the way...

@julianchu It's probably to tell you that you're in!!!

@branannabanana Do you want to have a cofounder? - YES: * Go find a cofounder. Try to convince one of your friends or colleagues or find one on a cofounder matching platform * Keep improving your startup's metrics regardless of the number of your cofounders * Reapply to YC and apply to...

@britmark From what I understand, this question ("How do you know there's a need for your idea?") is about what you did to prove people want what you're building. It could be a waitlist of potential users, people using your product, revenues, etc. It is anything you and your team did to show...
