Comment on Y Combinator applicant advice

Comments

I'm so tired of the billion dollar bullshit. No one believes it. No one can predict it. But everyone seems to have to say it.

Spare me.

YC is investing $18k. If you build a $10 or $25 million business off that springboard, even with an angel round, that's awesome for all.

As software fills out the niches of the world, that's where the real wins are going to be.

So in short, saying your company will be worth a billion dollars isn't cool. It's just douchey.
