YC is probably the easiest way to get VCs to notice you. But given how selective it is, that could be tougher than traction.

Maybe throwing out a third then -- get people in your network to introduce you to VCs. Also hard, but startups just aren't easy I guess.

It's like getting a HBS MBA. Sure, once you have it, it's easy social proof.

YC gives up equity. If you don't have any prior experience, it's good, but not for experienced enterprise founders in b2b saas startups. The latter should make demo videos and blog about their progress once they've exited stealth. While in stealth, they need to approach alpha/beta users, who may well invest and/or m&a.
