Incidentally, the most important question (at least to me) has become:<p><pre><code> Why did you pick this idea to work on? Do you have domain expertise in this area? How do you know people need what you&#x27;re making? </code></pre> and that one shouldn&#x27;t take long to answer, at least if you&#x27;re on the right track.

Another advice: do not apply two weeks before deadline (like me) because all posts with advices about YC applications are published in the last week.

Thanks @gleb, I know I probably won&#x27;t hear from YC, but you know the adage:<p><pre><code> &quot;You miss 100% of the shots you don&#x27;t take&quot;</code></pre>

The copy is not my best work. But hope it gets the point across -- a quick application is good enough.

What about the video? I&#x27;m under the impression that while a good video won&#x27;t get you into YC, a bad one can keep you out.
