Our product is self-funded -- should we apply to Winter YC?

You need to remove the "annoying" client reference in your video and change it to something like "highly involved" client or "detail oriented" client.<p>Our clients are not annoying, but some of them are far more immersed in the details than others.<p>I can't very well tell a client I'm using Bitsybox for their site if your site labels them as "annoying clients".

Has anyone applied to YC, got accepted, and quit their day job?<p>That is the scenario we're facing with BitsyBox. We love every minute that we're working on it but I wanted to get some feedback from the HN community about whether we should start thinking about it as our big jump out of the corporate developer's life.<p>Basically right now, we go to our corporate jobs during the day, come back at night and work for four hours on it -- this can't be uncommon. We're ready to make the leap to work on this everyday / all day -- but we'd really like to have some seed funding or be ramen-profitable first.

Sure; that scenario is quite common.

YC is one of the few VC's out there where the money really is secondary, it certainly won't hurt.<p>Applying for funding is also a great way to express to yourself and your team what it is that you do, writing all that stuff down is not just communicating to the outside, it changes you. Even if you get turned down you will <i>still</i> come out ahead.

Bitsybox seems nice but judging by the video, CushyCMS appears to be easier to use (I am freelance designer and that's what I currently have my clients set up with).

Why is this better than CushyCMS - which allows you to tag a div - give FTP info, then edit the content from the backend of CushyCMS - which can be whitelabeled ... you could then sell this whitelabeled cms to your clients - as a monthly fee...

I apologize for sidetracking, but I am curious what did u guys use to create your video presentation? And of course, of course best of luck with BitsyBox !

If you think the money you get from YC is the most important part, you've missed the point of YC.
