I'm a generative AI startup founder who got into Y Combinator this year. But I turned them down for Neo, another smaller accelerator program. Here's why.
At first, we were working on a few different ideas unrelated to AI, and sometime around between applying to YC and the interview, this newcame out. I thought, you know, this is my chance to innovate and take this technology to deliver a new solution for people's problems. So we changed ideas, and I think YC was maybe not too happy about that. They ultimately didn't end up accepting us, so we decided to pivot.
And then, after Neo, we talked to YC and interviewed and then also got an offer from them. We just thought, wow, this is just like another dream come true. While YC is famous for its network, Neo does also have a really good network. Reid Hoffman flew in last year to visit the founders and spend one-on-one time with them, for example. And our mentor at Neo is Erik Goldman, the cofounder of Vanta, and we get to meet with him every week.
