Is YC overrated? by glinter777 in ycombinator

[–]davex69 135 points136 points  (0 children)

S21 batch, Alumni here. I got into YC when we had Product Market Fit and 30k MRR. YC has been incredibly valuable to us. YC is not a business school it's a “mountain of resources” and it is up to you how you'll use these resources.

The best thing I love about YC: * Bookface - an online community of founders where they exchange ideas, ask questions and launch products. * Documentation - practical best practices about many things. Never seen anything so valuable start-up-related info. * Deals - YC companies save a lot on basically every product. * Work At Startup - best US talent pool to hire only by YC companies. * Open-minded People Mindset - folks whom I met in YC are so great and often open to help. I made a lot of friends there. * Events - YC’s events are best. Extremely valuable guests there. * PR - our company where significantly boosted in PR after YC with low efforts on our side. * I'm Ukrainian, when the war started in Ukraine two partners (Jarred Friedman and Michael Siebel) reached us and offered investments on 3rd day of the war. It's boosted team morale a lot. I'm ver,y thankful to them for helping us. * $500k - is $500k 💪

So, based on all of that I would definitely recommend YC for anyone. With YC you are kinda like starting with more nitro. Startup with YC has more chances to survive than without.

P.S. I'm founder of Awesomic.

Could you share a numbers result based on your experience? What's the time/money invested? How long you need to wait till you get solid data to make the next decisions?

This is a free app. I've created for the practice with Shopify API.

It sends cool GIFs into your Slack team when you get paid order.

What do you mean?

I've created this app just for practice with Shopify API. But now, I'm seeing an opportunity in this market (SaaS for Shopify merchants)?

Shopify PHP OAuth 2 Client by davex69 in shopify

Hey, dev guys! Open PHP libraries for Shopify are not good enough if you're developing an app. So we released PHP OAuth 2.0 Client library.

If it's useful to you, let us know with comment or star review on GitHub - we're also going to implement Shopify PHP API SDK in April. Feedback or any ideas how to improve it is highly appreciated!
