Who else applied for the W24 YC batch?
With the deadline coming up, what are some tips for a successful application?
Our video went live last week: https://youtu.be/yRN48cjdYqQ?si=...
Would love to hear your thoughts 🤔

With all actuality, I did not apply yet because I am launching my new CRM CJPath
@hungryhelen It is a CRM made by salespeople for salespeople. It does help you increase you conversion rate to the possible max. You can give it a try, it is free.
Cool video. Thumbs up! Just curious, you guys have 200 paying customers and you are applying to YC? ❓
High marks Just wondering why you guys are applying to YC when you have 200 paying clients.
The idea is good but YC doesn't want videos with pre planning in their application..they clearly mention it in their instructions for applying. They want you to speak naturally.
@keyurahuja bullet points, it’s hard to have a natural chat with 5 people in the video
I did, although I don’t really have any traction at the moment. So my chances are not that high. 😅
@uxyemi thanks!! Yeah, the application deadline came just as I am about to launch so, I’m hoping to gain a lot of traction in between this cycle and the next!
I am going to apply; however, your video is clear, concise, and to the point.
Best wishes to you and your team !!
@amit_mirgal thank you, good luck on your application also, lmk if I can help
Thanks for sharing the video. I'm applying and will submit our application this week before the deadline. For anyone applying, I would recommend reading Paul Graham's guide (logic) on what makes a good application - https://www.ycombinator.com/howt...
No not ready yet - applied once before without success so down have any tips :( but we have launched our MVP today on PH - have a look if you have 2 minutes to spare
@boudewijn_bos nice launch! We applied twice before and I know some people who applied 7 times and got in
@timcha yeah the numbers are beyond for getting in - but then again it opens so many doors when done correctly!
@timcha and thanks for the kind words 🚀 nowhere near product of the day but we have it a fair shot 😇
I'm definitely putting in an application, need to work on it this week
Anyone got and good resources for this from YC alumnii??
@william_mathews1 dm me on linkedin, can share insights, spoke to 7 alums and had my app reviewed by another 15.
@timcha thank you for taking the time, I have dropped you a connection request!
I'll do that next month, because I'm just going to launch my saas in the next week.
One can hope for the best! It’s always tough to get it right, but having a product you believe in and being able to clearly communicate on what and why you are doing is a huge step forward.
Truly an excellent product! I've been following your incredible growth, and I wish you all the best. While reviewing your video, I noticed something interesting about your product. You mentioned selling your product to 200 people, but when I checked the website where your product is sold, I couldn't find any reviews. This raised some questions for me that I'd like to ask:
Why aren't there any reviews on the website if you have 200 users?
Are you also selling your product on other websites or through social media?
Where can we verify the numbers and reviews?
Are you promoting your product through social media as well?
@oliv3tr thanks a bunch Oliver! You’re right, that’s something that we forgot to include on our landing page, just been really busy building out the fully fledged investment platform.
In the meantime you can check out our reviews on PH, there’s over 120 of them.
We’re not selling out product anywhere else atm
You can go and buy a lifetime pass if you like, we started off at 1000 and reviews are on PH
Nope we haven’t started social media ads or proper promotion, as we’re busy building out the rest of the product suite. We will hype it up prior to re-launch.
