A comment on YC Fellowship.

We are not actively searching for investments yet, I think the YC Fellowship could be a great opportunity to get advices and contacts.

But I'd need some feedback: do you think we could be eligible for the fellowship?

Here are some details:

- startup in the SaaS space (collaboration tool for remote teams)

- 2 founders + 2 full time employees

- money: 300K USD from a previous exit by the founders

- private alpha in jan 2015, public beta since may 2015, service is still free for everybody (so: no revenues :)

- few hundred users

I'm not sure about the "no money from investors" requirement, what do you think?

As long as you didn't take any money from outside, I believe you can make it to fellowship.

Just curious. How are you planning to monetize from this point. When you start charging for your service, how much churn do you expect?
