Hi Founders, Like many of you, we applied to YCombinator and were not lucky enough to get thru. So we thought, why not bring YC to us? Hence, we built TheYCBot.com - an AI mentor trained on a good collection of YC mentor videos. We are huge fans of the YC videos where some Startup Superstars like Dalton Caldwell, Garry Tan, Jared Friedman, and Michael Seibel share amazing wisdom on startup building and scaling. We made all this wisdom queryable, powered by our Lyzr.ai's LLM building blocks. We added 'to-do' recommendation capabilities to help you accomplish actionable tasks and get closer to your objective. Give it a try, and let us know what you think. It's free - www.theYCbot.com

@sandradjajic Exactly and that’s what TheYCBot does and will continue to do. To untangle your mind when needed.

@radomir_djokovic Thanks Radomir. Below are some of the most frequently asked questions to the YCBot by its users. Please feel free to play around and share your feedback. We want to improve the bot so that the 99.97% of startups that don't get into YC every year can now get YC mentorship anytime. How can I apply to YC? How to validate a startup idea? How do I get my first 100 customers? How to find the right co-founder? What is the current deadline for the YC application? What are my odds of being accepted into YC if I work on a hard tech solution? How can YC alumni refer new founders applying to YC? How do I build the tech team? How can I apply to YC for a fintech idea? Should I build a startup in the data privacy and security space? How do I hire a CTO? How can I handle conflict with a co-founder? How do the finances of someone applying an idea to YC work? How can I measure the TAM for my idea? How can I be 100% certain that I can get into YC?

Okay, This is actually useful and something that I would revisit every few days. It managed to point out flaws (that we somehow overlooked) in marketing strategy for our small-time consulting side hustle that my friends and I have been running for the past few months. Looks like the targeted suggestions that it gave reflected in the increased number of clients that we acquired. It is too early for me to quantify the impact and some improvements that I would love to see, but I will update as I continue using it. For now, it is genuinely helpful, and I look forward to more such products.

How do you plan to fund this?
Souvic Chakraborty
@siva_surendira Ok, mostly affiliate marketing for your other products then apart from the joy of making a cool product.
Souvic Chakraborty
Great work here. I see you run neoanalyst.ai also. Is it making revenue yet? What's your main source of traffic?

@souvic_chakraborty zero. Yet to start the outreach. Launching on Product Hunt later this month.
Congratulations on the launch @siva_surendira This is going to be a great tool for all startup founders!

@gusoliveira_ and we are adding 5 more modules

This seems like a more laid-back way to get professional advice than asking a mentor, which is interesting.

@hikaru_nagashima Thanks. YCBot helps you get some immediate advice/help from YC superstars before you reach out to your mentors.
Congrats team TheYCBot on the launch!

This is what we're talking about! Finally I get the Twitch dude and the other dude with hair's opinions in my ears 24/7. Keep it coming!

Hey, great idea, this seems to be really helpful especially for those who are entering the startup world for the first time. Good luck!

Impressive initiative with The YC Bot @siva_surendira - Big congrats on the launch! Bringing YC mentor wisdom to startups is a fantastic idea. The 'to-do' recommendation feature adds practicality to insights and optimally end results for struggling founders. Question: Is TheYCBot.com backed by YCombinator or approved by their team, or is it an independent project inspired by YC's mentor videos?
