on: How to Start a Startup: Fall 2014
Thats a whos who of the startup world which is fantastic. I hope you can motivate students in not only on just the web side to change the world. Sort of a great way to teach future entrepreneurs the requirements, structure and path of a successful startup.

on: Applying to YC
IMHO I think the chances are perhaps based on how competitive the batch is. Also are you a technical or non-technical founder. Also is it a sole founder + CTO/hires or just only 1 founder. From their point of view, they probably can consider the merits of your skill but the likelyhood is if you desire to scale (which YC can help with) it will require more than 1 person. It can be done by one person but im sure it can certainly can be overwhelming for one person and scaling a business as it can require sometimes more than only 1 person.

on: Applying to YC
I did think of applying at some point but I actually thought of i may be too late since i already have a product and growing revenue. I was under the impression YC was just a seed accelerator. Thanks for clearing that up and encouraging us to take a look again.

on: YC Portfolio Stats
I think an even better idea would be yclist.com or total YC websites calculated along with alexa ranking. That would give a great indication of who has been successful or not. Keep in mind YC also gets also significant press than normal startups so its expected that most should do ok at least.
