Jarred, perhaps this can be a small help. I organised a group of startup school 2017 alumni in London to do the course together, so we have a large number of ‘advisor track’ graduates from last year in our community. Been in contact to explain the problems you guys are having, a number of them have said they can do weekly office hours style sessions. For us, the structure of checking in and having a group that you’re accountable to is a huge part of the value in having an advisor. Perhaps this ‘advisor lite’ option can help and offer these founders support at a time when they need it?

Great idea! Thank you. I'm in London and really hope YC could offer this option.

We’re not even considering giving up but I worry it will damage our morale which just went from high, to sky high, to the dark pits. Thanks.

That's just daily life at a startup. You're getting the full authentic experience. This ain't no Disney World ride. It's going to suck and it's going to suck most of the time. Okay actually maybe this is like a Disney World ride.
Having said that, there's no reason why this should keep you from working on your company. I hope you'll decide to give it a shot anyway.
