I'm the type of person that doesn't care to be accepted and rather put energy into my own startup. I will be successful regardless, it's not saying I am afraid to fail. Failure and success have nothing to do with being accepted or rejected from YC. I think YC would be great and what they do is great, my hats off to the whole place, but people like you talk like YC is the win all.
- ChrisNorstrom 12y ago"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.
- rmena123 12y agoLike 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.
- skj 12y agoHe'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.
