I read initial email and it hit all the issues I might have with YC. YC is fantastic program, if I was younger, I would totally go for it.

BTW I am enrolled in StartupSchool and it helped me push the product development and clarify what it should do. I think TinySeed would be ideal for us.

What I specifically like is that it addresses real problems founders have,

* provide runway for a year (more then enough in my view).

* remote, you can be anywhere, yet I assume they would be fairly involved in mentoring

That is all I need atm. I have full time job, that pays the bills, also it is not draining I can't work on my idea. I am slowly assembling elements to be successful and feel that I am making genuine progress thanks to StarupSchool.
