Funding: Y Combinator

24 February 2010 338 views 2 Comments

I first found out about these guys a few years back when I was looking for funding for a concept that was way to ahead of its time. Needles to say I watched them grow and fund some of today’s coolest websites online such as Justin.tv. What makes Y Combinator a cool funding outlet is the fact that you are not just getting money and left to establish your business. These guys actually bring you up to San Francisco for a few months and work with you on a daily bases to establish your site as a business. What’s also cool is this isn’t a group of rich VC’s / Angel Investors who don’t know much about what they are funding, these guys breath, eat, and sleep this techie stuff. The way it works is you submit to they’re funding submission and if you got a great concept you will probably be contacted. If I am not mistaken they fund two times a year(You might have to check the site for that). From what I have learned your chances of being chosen are greater if you join the sites community and contribute to the forums. In other words build a relationship with them. With that said, I command these guys for what they do, and it is nice to know that we have options out there like this. Click the link below to go they’re site.
