Paul, can we have a feature that when we save an application there's also a 'feedback' button, which sends the application to select YC alumni and others who have time to give feedback?
What are you talking about? The whole YC program is explicitly about getting your hand held. Anyone can get a credit card or family/friend loan for 5,000 for a three month project. YC is not about the money; it's about the advice.
YC is about nurturing seeds to see what comes up, rather than testing them for the Winter. There's a reason seeds sprout in Spring -- to give them as good as possible running start before Winter comes. They'll get tested soon enough.
No. I like how uncluttered the application is. It made me feel like we were applying for something professional, unlike some of the other applications I've seen, which either look decades-old or really sloppy and amateur.
