That's my dream. I'm from a small city, immigrated several times. Applied to YC 3rd time now, and hope to get into batch. If not - will try until I do get accepted. I have never ever had the opportunity to feel what I've just seen in this video. Amazing.

About to launch our startup soon. It's a social networking app targeting a niche. Will be applying to YC for Winter 2025. We used Garry's Channel and the main YC channel to help us refine our business strategy.

@gmanfromdibloc2479 Ай бұрын

@elonfc Just a heads up. You're probably building something great but please watch more of their videos around tarpit ideas, ideas that don't scale etc. This is a common idea they get pitched and you'll probably have to have some unique angle other than it being for a niche customer base. I'm no expert and I obviously have no affiliate to YC but I want you to succeed.

If you can't figure out how to find an apartment in a major American city, maybe starting a company is not in the cards.

@@GarryTan lol of course that makes sense, I was just curious since it’s a “day in the life at YC” video and I haven’t seen content around the living situation during the YC period.
