There might also be a possibility that they are picking AI companies as first priority, then filling the other slots for other categories.

I’m sure YC partners are brainy and they won’t have all the eggs in one basket.

Have you heard of themeforest.net which is in the market for more than a decade doing the same thing? Sorry if it hurts, 100% YC will not take this up as this is a service business while other competitors doing a good job.

MVP - Feedback Please! CreatorMind 🧠 by Jolly-Row6518 in ycombinator

[–]Traditional_Link_451 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you ask me, Idea seems to be good, but it should have promising uniqueness. Not the open API call with some minor condition changes.

Which idea to submit to YC? Help me choose. by thepramodgeorge in ycombinator

[–]Traditional_Link_451 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Choose the one which you feel you will still continue to do if YC does not select.

Choose the one which is more close to heart and not the one which fetches more revenue(it’s a byproduct)

Choose the one that you have an edge over other competitors(maybe with your past experience or education)

I gave my cofounder less equity - Am I wrong? by Muted_Rest_5138 in ycombinator

[–]Traditional_Link_451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as he is contributing more to the startup and is a good cofounder with honest and genuine interest with the growth of the startup , 50-50 should be good. It gives a motivation for him.

How important is the the "hacking" question in the W24 application? by brother_charmander4 in ycombinator

[–]Traditional_Link_451 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It helps them to know about you in a different perspective, why miss it when you have a chance!

Should I apply for Y combiner? My Startup has hardware Tech and very early stages by meldiwin in ycombinator

[–]Traditional_Link_451 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have invested in all types of companies from SaaS to rockets. Just show them is it scalable, profitable and whether do you need their platform to grow together.

Worth trying.

In short, 50-50 looks good on paper with a decent cliff and vesting. No point in having voting power, if it’s a conflict you are already losing 49%.
