Totally. I was advising a friend about whether to apply to YC, and there was a concern about whether his app had enough downloads to get accepted. Stepping back, that seems like a really strange thing to be worrying about. It's refreshing to see Tetra in the batch.

I wonder, does YC still fund founders with no ideas? Or take them up on the secondary idea, which may imply abandoning any progress on the primary idea?



I'm happy to see them too - the last batches had a lot of more mature companies and almost no "seed stage" startups.

I think I read in a comment that they're no longer accepting teams without ideas and that the experimental batch ended up pretty badly.
