time and attention uh that could be used for all the other things that you're gonna need in a perfect comp competitive world.
And um so it's you know, all the people who are like, you know, F vibe coders or you know, all the slides it's cope.
It's like the world just changed.
We're just trying to help you.
Yeah, and you can live in that old world where you know you're sitting there uh you know, writing your own manual tests and banging your head into the code, or you can embrace the future and uh
you know, get that alpha, get that edge.
Yeah, uh
I guess like why see these like we've been really in uh intentional about um trying to go back to founders who are actually at right at the beginning.
So, you know, it the these numbers fluctuate, but pretty much every time seventy to eighty percent of the companies have uh no revenue and uh you know probably seventy to eighty percent generally are unlaunched.
So uh
It's really during those ten weeks, like can you go from zero to say a hundred thousand or several hundred thousand dollars a year revenue?
Uh, but even that is like
you know, sort of secondary.
Like, uh, the funniest thing when you really think about it, you know, think about a company that actually does make it to a hundred million or a billion dollars a year in revenue.
Like, are you really going to look at the first 10 weeks and say, well, you went to, you know, well, that company went to 50 K ARR and that other company went to 150K ARR?
It's like if you like play it all the way out, like it's all these other factors.
Um, so you know, I I think basically if you can't get revenue or customers during the ten weeks of YC, like man, that was the wrong idea, or you don't got the skills.
Um and even then, like, you can't count teams out.
Like there are tons of teams that uh deferred demo day, had nothing, had you know
They took their money and basically nose to the grindstone, like stayed in the idea maze and then they went on to create things like retool.
