Hi! I'm part of the Admissions Team at YC. AMA about Early Decision or about admissions! :)
My current users absolutely love my product (just came back from a week of user interviews at their office), my company is default alive for the foreseeable future but I'm running solo.
I feel overwhelmed. I have a couple of customers waiting to start using our product because I don't know if I will be able to provide the great customer support my current customers have.
I want to find people to join me but it is pretty hard when my country startup ecosystem is still immature.
I changed my product until user loved it and now I feel stuck.
I agree that finding someone to join you is important. This decision should not be taken lightly. Michael Seibel has great advice here on how to find a cofounder here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d7tDaFr5EYA
I've looked at Oko and seems great, I'd just change the icon (reminds too much of MS Outlook/Office suite), change the grey to another color and why do you have a schedule demo instead of a real demo?
I think YC can be invaluable to any company in many different aspects. For me it would be an amazing opportunity to create a great team.
This was a surprise to us, as we didn't initially see our product as "YC material" (crowded market, not super innovative), but was also somewhat motivating.
The competitor I'm talking about is actually Wren. You can compare Wren to our bootstrapped MVP here:
Now to my question: Is YC no longer an option for Offsetra, given how similar we are to a company you've already funded?
Either way, wishing all the best and much success to Wren! Hoping we can connect and maybe find ways to collaborate soon. <3
