Ask HN: Can we apply to YCombintor planning to work on the start-up part time?
Hi,
We are group of people working full time at different companies on H1-B visas. We want to apply for YCombinator, but our plan is to continue working part-time on the start-up idea till it gets some real traction.
Is it possible to apply for YCombinator with only part-time commitment from the founders ?
Thanks,
Sesh I don't see how they would let you do this. When you are working for someone else, it's too easy to give up on your startup. How are you guys going to even go through the program? It's not like you can just take a bunch of time off of work... Thanks Paul. I didn't much about how the ycombinator program works, except for what's available at this link:http://ycombinator.com/atyc.html. I just wanted to know if there is a chance it would work at all with our full-time jobs. More than the funding, what we are looking for is some guidance and networking with like-minded folks. Thx, Sesh No. sorry.
