We applied to YC, and Shogun grew 30% during the month between our application submission and our interview. We got in to the Winter 2018 batch.
This makes very little sense. If you had a proven, growing product in a large market, why not just go for some angel investment or even series A funding? At this point maybe you just need some cash to seize the oppurtunity ie fund some developers to add polish, marketing, advertising to draw customers. A paltry YC batch investment seems trivial, certainly less than you need. Also a business based on Shopify and n1, n2, ... nx where x < 10? Seems like a lot of risk.
