Ah yes you are right!

I should have mentioned that in my original post. I do tend to talk about my idea with everyone. It helps to weed out poor ideas and germinate new ones.

My question really was literally to do with a direct competitor getting an insight into my business plan while I was in the middle of building the MVP.

I think you are right in that i should stop worrying though :)

Also: I got a message from another mate in YC. He said that it's mostly the guys that are close with YC that do a lot of the screening so less worrying ahoy!
