Ask HN: Should a established biz consider applying for YC?
1 point by antonioevans on July 26, 2012 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
I've been asked by a few colleagues who are still slightly bouncing around in their Startups if they should apply for YC, Techstars, aka incubator. A few have healthy startup revenues, they have offshore "staff" but have run their biz like "lifestyle businesses". The words they keep telling me is "I want to create a sustainable model". Would you advise them to apply or should they go another route?


Depends what their goals for growth are. What defines a startup is its target growth rate. If they want to grow as fast as successful startups do, then we could probably help them.




Consider applying for YC's Summer 2026 batch! Applications are open till May 4
