Hello PH

We applied to Y Combinator few days ago and we ve had a few spikes in GitHub stars after sharing our open-source project with dev communities.

But we re wondering: how important are GitHub stars when applying to YC?

Also curious to hear from fellow open-source builders:

Lately there s been a growing wave of skepticism around VCs, Y Combinator, and accelerators in general. And to be fair: I get it.

We now live in an age where almost everything you need to learn can be found online. The gatekeepers are fewer, the knowledge is everywhere, and solo builders have never been more empowered.
