from the ask-hn dept.

For all of us hoping to get into S11, did you apply to other programs as well? Which ones and why/why not?

No, but I probably will be in the fall (when I apply to YC.) Namely AlphaLab, which is out of Pittsburgh.

Yes. TechStars. We went to 'TechStars for a Day' in NYC and met their crew. Gary V. is a crazy passionate mo'fo -- we received good advice/feedback from him and David T.

My team only applied to YC. I'm not sure how good our chances of getting in are, because our start up is only partially software run, but I have my fingers crossed!!!

I applied to Jumpstart Foundry in Nashville, seems like a pretty awesome experience similar to YC.

We decided to go for YC first and if they don't take us we will apply at other incubators.
