| There are so many lines in the post series that don't make very much sense if you understand the YC program. > We'd aim to have 4 to 6 developers on the project within the first few weeks, and had a substantial budget to achieve this. What budget? > The hiring process began immediately with advertisements going up on social media As the CTO, would you not be able to contribute more to this project? > One of the huge benefits of the YC program is the ability to experiment with scaling ideas. Talking about looking into scaling before having anything usable or users? Time would have been spent better actually building a prototype to prove the concept. > As the first Demo Day approached, despite being a director and CTO, I was instructed not to attend due to not being part of the initial interview process. I kind of suspect at this point in the post series, that the author wasn't really a "director" or "CTO". After reading the lessons in the third post, sounds like the author just jumped at the chance to be part of YC without much knowledge of what he would actually have to contribute. |
