Hi friends 👋🏻,
Hope you’re holding up well in this pandemic. I’ve been reading about Y Combinator’s operating model and found it fascinating. This post is the first in series.
Y Combinator has a great business model, with a real network effect and phenomenal execution. YC Continuity(fund for pro-rata investments and late-stage financing) is a logical extension of the core model working.
A few accelerators tried to replicate the Y Combinator model and failed. If Y Combinator is Oracle, the new accelerator has to take an asymmetric route and become MongoDB.
