We have two tempting ideas. One is in private beta, for the other one we have a working MVP. While we worked on idea 1 for quite some time and is more high-tech, idea 2 might have a higher paying customer base (not tested yet). Is it advisable to apply with both startups for YC?
best for YC staff to respond, but i would think yes - since YC gives a greater weightage to the quality of the founding team, than specific ideas.
but then looking at it from another angle, wouldn't it send a message that you have a problem in staying disciplined and focused which is critically important to build a solid company?<p>in conclusion, my recommendation is to choose one among the two ideas - and then use the second as reference work to demonstrate your entrepreneurial prowess.
