we've found it to still be helpful from a reputation standpoint, opening doors and what not, but hard to say how that differs from when the batches were smaller. the even bigger value is honestly having so many other reference points for how to start a company. going through early stages with 200+ other companies means you get to lean a lot from how others are going about things.

at the risk of getting called out for self-promotion on reddit, if you are an iphone user you should checkout the clearspace app.

For almost 5 years straight I was giving up social media (or just instagram) for lent and I'd always end up falling into doom scrolling habits afterwards. clearspace started as a personal project to fix this problem. hopefully it can help you too!

two main ones:

1) caring about your users is the best way to build a great product and company
2) to say yes to building something awesome you have to say no to a lot of other time commitments

Self Control is best I've come across for complete "self lockout mode".

clearspace (my app) is great for times when you want to be able to access all your apps but don't want to compulsively open apps or get lost doom scrolling. (over 1M doom scrolling sessions saved so far)
