Will YC consider funding a nanotechnology company?
- pg 14y agoSure!
- jayzalowitz 14y agoFinally, robots!
- akshxy 14y agoI just want to ask whether a prototype and customers willing to use the product will be valuable for YC? The problem is we are an unproven team and because YC focuses more on the teams rather than ideas, should we wait for the YC S13 applications? Your take on that?
- sskates 14y agoA prototype and customers willing to use the product are forms of traction that YC looks for. There is no harm in applying now and then applying again later if you get rejected, other than your time.
- brador 14y agoIs there a list somewhere of these metrics/things which look good/signs of success to have before applying? If not, care to flesh out a few more?
- dm8 14y agoI'm not a YC founder/partner but as far as my knowledge goes, I don't think YC discriminates between hardware and software startups.
- pg 14y agoWe had 6 hardware startups in the most recent batch in fact.
