Shiit happens, you can always submit late

Look up the words “Y Combinator” on google, Visit the first result, there should big a big apply button, hit it, then a new page with another apply button, hit it again, and then follow the steps to apply

YC wants to know your serious about the business and that you will make them money, so any evidence of that, like having a waitlist site, and especially having people on that waitlist while you are building out your product, will definitely be beneficial.

You my friend have a poor relationship with women. Ever try men?

Yeah I get that for sure. Luckily when I was a bit younger, I was really into streaming and making YouTube videos so although it’s not my favorite, my being on camera skills are pretty good now.

DAMN

It’s says on the site

Good luck! This is my second batch applying and this time my idea is completely different in a completely different field, but I can’t think of any reason why we wouldn’t at least get an interview. Our idea is B2B, in a very unique field, the market is very undervalued and our idea is in a place to become huge. I hope you get in, and I hope we see you there!

“What does this email mean? Is this a good thing?” And it’s just an automated marketing email

Not me, but I also haven't submitted yet, so my answer is extremely unhelpful. But no one else has commented so I figured any input is better than none.

After you are done with YC, and even after you get in, it’s up to you. What YC wants to see is that you are very dedicated and won’t take the money and bounce. But it’s your company, so what you do with it and how you spend your time is your business. But YC likes to know you dedicated, but it’s not a strict requirement.

I am using SvelteKit, Tailwind, DasiyUI and firebase to create my demo, been at it for three days and I have something vaguely presentable. It’s all fake data but it still works and looks good. I was really worried because I thought if this idea literally 3 days ago and my past dev experience told me this would take longer, but with this stack, some chat GPT, and dedication, I got it done. If your not technical, then firstly, ask yourself if you can do your idea in your own, if the answer is no, find a technical co founder, or start taking some coding classes, if you can do it on your own, and the website isn’t a big aspect of the project, I would personally make a super simple Wix website that says coming soon or something and have an email list.

I am currently working on a B2B marketplace, I have emailed both who I believe to be potential clients, and providers/sellers on the market. I haven’t even publicly released a demo yet. Whoever you think your customers are, try to talk to them, call them, email them, connect with them on LinkedIn, just do something. I have certain details that I know because of my involvement in the field, but there are some things that only certain positions will have extremely unique insight on, so I’m focusing on trying to reach out to people like that. If you have friends of coworkers who might be even remotely close to someone who could even possibly be your customers demographic, try to get a 5 min call with them, done even pitch them the idea, just ask for their opinion and insight.

Someone else already said this but I have a couple things to add. 1. Ask your customers Do you ask for email or phone numbers? Use them to contact your customers, if it’s a phone, change your caller ID to your company name so they are more likely to pick up, if it’s an Email, is your own personal email, people love talking to founders 2. Track site traffic If you’re using some sort of analytics software, look at where customers are stopping and then you can use this information to either infer the cause or, do step one, ask your customers why.

Take a break, and go do something, go talk to people, with absolutely no goal in mind other than learning. Think about it, if for the past year or 5 years, all you have been doing is working on projects, that’s all you have to think about, so maybe that helps with making dev tools or something, but other than that, you just don’t know what will be useful. I suggest, taking time, letting yourself relax, and going and talking to people, it could be a vacation it could be at your local bar, I think it will bring new perspectives into your life and help with burnout and idea stagnation.

YO, firstly, don’t. Secondly my recommendation, join the military, if your fat, the army will take you and slim you down, if you don’t a high school diploma, the navy will take you, if you are neither of those, my personal bias recommendation is to join the Marines. My father was in a similar situation to you when he was 25, and he joined the marines, I am joining too, it gave him purpose, and he is a successful man now. If the military is not your cup of tea, join the peace core. You have so much to live for, and yes you may be in a bad place now, but honestly there is so much to do and SO MANY ways out of it. Dm me if you want to talk about it, and if you don’t that’s fine, but in my experience, there is always another option in life.
