My concern with YC is that it doesn’t give you time to build relationships and determine who is actually a good investor to work with. How do YC startups go about this? Since you're giving up a board seat, you're stuck with them for a long time. This whole two-week timeline feels very rushed.

The other side of this spectrum is that the founders spend months of their time fundraising rather than actually building the company.
