I am just going to be pretty  blunt.<p>- For those who say that good founders should spend their time working on their startup and nothing gimmicky like this; If you get to appear on this snapchat and it takes your 6 hours to prepare for it (way too long in my opinion). Justin has over 7500 views per snap, that&#x27;s 7500 people that learn about your startup and a couple thousand that may be directed to you website, it&#x27;s them up to the credibility of your website&#x2F;app to convert them to signups. What else would you do to gain an audience of 7500 ardent tech fans in those 6hrs? My project was once featured on his channels months ago and we got hundreds of new users because of that.<p>- someone mentioned shitty ideas getting attention because of likable founders and good ideas not getting attention because of unlikebale founders. I&#x27;d say it&#x27;s in the best interest to have a good idea and be likable, startups are a very competitive market, you should look for every edge you can have over the next guy. Not fair buts that&#x27;s the way it is.<p>- YCF provides lots of value for very early startups, it&#x27;s only fair that they get some value back immediately considering it&#x27;s a risky bet and their stake only converts at a $100 million event. If the value is entertainment that gets them more exposure (good for sourcing deals), I&#x27;d say it&#x27;s a fair trade off.<p>- For those who say it&#x27;s a waste of time, I think that&#x27;s pretty pessimistic. Any oppurtunity to get funded by a reputable entity is never a waste of time. You are a startup, you are unconventional. The odds are not in your favor, if you have to shine shoes to get the attention of what&#x2F;who you want, I say do it. Lots of successful people have done so. It&#x27;s the type of &quot;I am too good to do this&quot; hubris that makes some people frown on SV culture being cultivated in some founders<p>I can go on, but I&#x27;d rather work on my startup or get some rest, that way I can free up time to apply. Good luck!
