housewives with a start up-applying to yc, feedback please

3 pointsby housewifeabout 13 years ago
Hello hackers! My best friend/business partner and I are applying for this session of Y combinator... We have a truly phenomenal start up idea, not trying to sound obnoxious, but it's a goodie ;). The thing is, we are not technical really at all. Our parent company is called "Ambitious Housewives" because that's what we are. We're 30, married, and we have kids (she has a 7 year old, and I have a 6 year old and a 4 month old...) BUT we both have built home based businesses, and we are entrepreneurs! We have been hard at work trying to raise capital, but it is difficult in Calgary, everyone is SO oil and gas focused. We want to get in to YC SO much, where people will TRULY understand our vision... Just wondering, what do you think our chances are of being selected, given that we are not in tech?

I know, I am hoping to get some input. I notice that there are a lot of responses to "tacocopter" and none to my post, and I want it to get noticed. In answer to your question, I don't really have any feeling about spam. It used to annoy me years ago, but now I think I am immune, I barely notice it. If you're comparing my post to spam, so be it.
