The idea is good but YC doesn't want videos with pre planning in their application..they clearly mention it in their instructions for applying. They want you to speak naturally.
Thanks for sharing the video. I'm applying and will submit our application this week before the deadline. For anyone applying, I would recommend reading Paul Graham's guide (logic) on what makes a good application - https://www.ycombinator.com/howt...
Love the energy here! If anyone wants another set of eyes on their app, dm me on Twitter - send a google doc and Iāll take a look! (Canāt promise Iāll get to all of them, but Iāll try)
One can hope for the best! Itās always tough to get it right, but having a product you believe in and being able to clearly communicate on what and why you are doing is a huge step forward.
No not ready yet - applied once before without success so down have any tips :( but we have launched our MVP today on PH - have a look if you have 2 minutes to spare
@boudewijn_bos nice launch! We applied twice before and I know some people who applied 7 times and got in
@timcha yeah the numbers are beyond for getting in - but then again it opens so many doors when done correctly!
I'm definitely putting in an application, need to work on it this week
Anyone got and good resources for this from YC alumnii??
@william_mathews1 dm me on linkedin, can share insights, spoke to 7 alums and had my app reviewed by another 15.
Great! Thank you very much. My dream team and I have applied for the batch. We're hoping for the best, and I believe we'll be in the accelerator this season. How are you doing?
Cool video. Thumbs up! Just curious, you guys have 200 paying customers and you are applying to YC? ā
With all actuality, I did not apply yet because I am launching my new CRM CJPath
@hungryhelen It is a CRM made by salespeople for salespeople. It does help you increase you conversion rate to the possible max. You can give it a try, it is free.
I did, although I donāt really have any traction at the moment. So my chances are not that high. š
@uxyemi thanks!! Yeah, the application deadline came just as I am about to launch so, Iām hoping to gain a lot of traction in between this cycle and the next!
I applied but Iām really not optimistic about it, this is my 4th application and this time I applied with a product launching in a month time.
Truly an excellent product! I've been following your incredible growth, and I wish you all the best. While reviewing your video, I noticed something interesting about your product. You mentioned selling your product to 200 people, but when I checked the website where your product is sold, I couldn't find any reviews. This raised some questions for me that I'd like to ask:
Why aren't there any reviews on the website if you have 200 users?
Are you also selling your product on other websites or through social media?
Where can we verify the numbers and reviews?
Are you promoting your product through social media as well?
@oliv3tr thanks a bunch Oliver! Youāre right, thatās something that we forgot to include on our landing page, just been really busy building out the fully fledged investment platform.
In the meantime you can check out our reviews on PH, thereās over 120 of them.
Weāre not selling out product anywhere else atm
You can go and buy a lifetime pass if you like, we started off at 1000 and reviews are on PH
Nope we havenāt started social media ads or proper promotion, as weāre busy building out the rest of the product suite. We will hype it up prior to re-launch.
