Why do YC startups raise more money than others Because YC is the IIT of startups, and we all know how desi investors love a shiny "tagline" over actual substance. The moment you're YC-backed, VCs throw money at you Hereās why: 1. Branding Flex ā YC is like a Shaadi.com premium account for startups; investors swipe right faster. 2. Mentorship = Jugaad ā Founders learn how to pitch better than Bollywood selling yet another remake. They turn founders into charmers who can convince customers and distributor to put in their money 3. Compressed Timelines = Kabir Singh Hustle: The 3-month YC program is intense AF. Itās like studying for JEE but instead of an exam, you walk out with millions in funding (or at least killer connections). 4. VC Validation = Middle-Class Parents' Approval: If YC backs you, VCs assume you're the "sanskaari beta" of startups. No questions asked. You walk in, and theyāre ready to invest. 5. YC Have funded Top startups like Stripe , AirBnb and even our Qcom king Zepto so there's a trust towards YC that they fund top startups that are going to kill Why Others Canāt Replicate This Most accelerators fail to match YC because they: ā¢ Lack the network depth. ā¢ Donāt enforce the same discipline. ā¢ Focus too much on pitches and not enough on building sustainable traction. YC doesnāt just train startups; it trains founders to dominate the funding game by mastering leverage, network dynamics, and investor psychology. If youāre not in, youāre already behind.
