| Perhaps the application questions could have been further refined. But perhaps the questions are intended to raise some people’s hackles. I get temporarily disappointed every time I’m declined by YC, but I appreciate what they are trying to do in a number of ways: Sharing everything(well, most things) they have learned with complete transparency. Constantly talking down Seed/Series A valuations in aggregate because they see the crazy. Experimenting with universal basic income(UBI) using their own money in what appears to me as an attempt to apply the scientific method to public policy lobbying. So I can excuse YC for some application questions that might come across as pretentious or more likely to appeal to the self aggrandizing. Two thins I’d like to see with YC120 are: 1) livestream the weekend as it could help with building attendees networks 2) Use YC120 applicant/application pool(with applicants permission) with data anonymised as an experiment on applicants/applications. |
