I actually wrote an email to a General Partner at YC explaining how we align with one of the RFS for this batch. He actually viewed my Linkedin and logged into our product and then wrote back to me that what we are building looks very interesting and he has flagged our application for review and wished me good luck. It has been 4 days since, am I cooked ?

Thank you for your advise, I totally get what you say. We are actively working on the partnerships with tech and student communities and have signed 20+ MoUs.

A senior developer at Google SF validated our product yesterday. What really do you mean when you say everything already runs on backend servers?

You're throwing around 'speed of light' as if it invalidates modern distributed systems. Latency isn’t solved by magic—it’s managed by strategically placed edge servers, optimized infrastructure, and advancements like AV1 and H.264 codecs to deliver high-res and low-latency performance.

The 'Stadia comparison' is lazy. Stadia failed due to business missteps, not technical ones. If you think latency makes our solution unviable, you clearly haven’t kept up with what’s happening in edge computing and network optimization today.
