I got into YC after applying six times. Here's my advice for YC applicants
I'm sort of confused with the obsession some people have with applying to YC. It seems like something a lot of people do now because it is sort of prestigious and because a lot of the companies seem to do well afterwards. Maybe that's good enough, but I often feel confused reading posts like "How to get in to YC" because I'm not sure I've read one of these posts yet where the author articulates a clear reason why getting into YC was so important.
