Can anyone shed some light into this? Why do companies turn down YC after being accepted?
- arcanus 7y agoA few reasons I've encountered: They require founders to relocate They take a non-trivial equity stake as the price of admission It's a huge time commitment Not stating that YC isn't an incredible program and a great value proposition. Just that it has some challenges.
