Ask PG/HN: Apply to YC no-idea?
As a team, we work very well together, can execute and believe we are relatively smart (and modest). We believe the spirit of the no-idea application is to find incredible teams. However, we are concerned that the truncated application doesn't sufficiently allow enough space to articulate the progress we have made on past and current projects.
YC states, "A lot of the startups we accept change their ideas completely, and some of those do really well." We may be at this point right now.
Any thoughts on if we should apply via the no-idea application? Is it a catch all for not only people who have "no-idea" but also if you have an idea you are close to pivoting on/abandoning or if you have several valid ideas? We have both applications ready just in case.
