"people like you talk like YC is the win all"

Hey, you're the one that didn't want to apply because you didn't think you'd fit in due to your preconceived notions about who gets accepted.




Like I said above... Look up the majority of founders and they all fall into a category type. Not saying it's a bad thing, but it's a type.

Yea I did say that, but you are talking about success and failure like that has anything to do with applying or not. If you think I wont have success because I don't apply I feel bad for that thinking.


He's not saying that not applying causes not succeeding, but that the reasons you give for not applying cause not succeeding. That is, correlation, not causation.




Consider applying for YC's Spring batch! Applications are open till Feb 11.
