Ask HN: Should a established biz consider applying for YC?

1 pointsby antonioevansalmost 13 years ago
I've been asked by a few colleagues who are still slightly bouncing around in their Startups if they should apply for YC, Techstars, aka incubator. A few have healthy startup revenues, they have offshore "staff" but have run their biz like "lifestyle businesses". The words they keep telling me is "I want to create a sustainable model". Would you advise them to apply or should they go another route?

Depends what their goals for growth are. What defines a startup is its target growth rate. If they want to grow as fast as successful startups do, then we could probably help them.
