Yeah, I'm not sure if this is completely relevant, but we have a product that we're going to launch soon, and I was wondering whether you would prefer your applicants have products/demos not yet launched as that might be better for PR purposes, etc.

Definitely launch, if it's what you'd do otherwise.

Yeah, I'd definitely be interested in hearing how much a demo matters when it comes to choosing. I felt like that was a major weakness my group had the one time we applied in the past.

A good demo helps a lot, especially in the final stages.

Announcing YC funding is newsworthy, and you'll get a press hit for it any time you want.
