My business became profitable this month, but it's not the same as the idea I applied to YC with. Not sure whether that counts or not, since apparently half of YC folks change their idea anyway. To be fair though I don't think I could have done it without going through Seth's MBA program, which was a lot more hands on than YC. (In terms of more contact hours, more formal instruction, more varied curriculum, more opportunity to find a diverse set of mentors, etc.) Also not the same co-founder, but the co-founder I applied with wasn't the problem.


Alex3917 is there a link to your company I could check out. Congratulations on a huge milestone. I hope you take time to celebrate.


Thanks bill, the link is swagapalooza.com. Basically it's a conference that I'm leveraging to do other things. Hopefully I'll be able to post more about this over the next 6 months.

The first header on your page is "NOT A CONFERENCE"


I mean what's the point of starting a business if not to mess with people? :-)
