what if he's already denied you?


This lunch isn't an investor meeting. It's a chance to have some food and chat about start-ups in general or general advice on your own. I'm fairly certain there is no implied chance of funding. After all, this is for charity.

That's not to say if if your idea is freaking amazing or you two click, he isn't ABLE to fund you. The chance is slim, but maybe just slightly more then meeting him on the street since he'll listen to what you have to say since your money is going to a good cause.

Either way, bid. The chance to meet him alone is worth $500 in my book.


some lawyers charge $1000/hr for consultation. an hour with pg is worth even more than that. $500 is bargain.


Guy, I need between $250K and $300K to get my project going. What am I going to do with 17K and no incubation?


Start eating a whole lot more ramen :)

Seriously, if you can't see the utility of getting 17k in your pocket, you're probably not the target of the conference?


I'd say they help you in the sense that you get massive publicity and, most likely, offers for mentorship assuming your product is good.


why the $150 fee? lol

Bootstrapped startups may be able to lower the fee.


Hey folks, we are looking for co-founders, and would love to get with like minded people to shoot the sh*t. I have an email going around for a potential meetup in SFBayarea. Let me know if any of you are interested. rahulsharma2001@gmail.com

2 pieces of advice:

1) Do not make me watch a video to see what you're doing. Write some text -- you should be able to explain it in one sentence and then have some supporting text if you want/need to clarify things.

2) If you really only have 2 employees and one of you is the CEO and one of you is the President, You're Doing It Wrong. Ditch those titles and just go for "founder" at most.


Great. Is there anywhere on HN or YC that elaborates on the general day-to-day activities? I did a fairly thorough search and was unable to find anything.

Is it correct to assume "one on one" means that there will be someone from YC that will be helping each start-up with their respective issues on a day-to-day basis? Thanks in advance, pg.


Harj and Jessica and I schedule blocks of office hours for individual startups to talk to us about whatever problems are most urgent for them. There hasn't yet been one that needed to talk to us every day, but they can talk to us as much as they want.


Sounds great.


Hi, I wanted to know what the procedure was for bringing on potential team-members during the three month funding period? In other words, if they are not the founders then how will they be incorporated during our time with YC? Thanks in advance.


If they have cofounder equity we treat them as de facto cofounders.


Appreciate the prompt reply.
