"Do not have network intros to YC-Partners" that got me thinking what are my odds of getting in. pg once said "your chances are either very high or very low". No intros. Haven't co-founder a successful startup in the past. Haven't worked for FB. I'm from "middle of nowhere".
We really have none of these - yet wanted to apply and encourage others like us to apply. We laid out our reasons with the hope to encourage a few more to polish their customer pitches using the framework we used ...
For us it came to two things:
a. Did we FEEL that the guys running the accelerator cared
b. Had we developed respect for their OPINIONS
As I said we found 3 fitting our criteria and YC was only one
