With all actuality, I did not apply yet because I am launching my new CRM CJPath

@hungryhelen It is a CRM made by salespeople for salespeople. It does help you increase you conversion rate to the possible max. You can give it a try, it is free.
Helen Chong
@ayoub_mouhachtt would love to hear more about it!

Cool video. Thumbs up! Just curious, you guys have 200 paying customers and you are applying to YC? ❓
@michael_guan1 YC is for companies from idea stage all the way to 1m ARR
Grace Gomez
High marks Just wondering why you guys are applying to YC when you have 200 paying clients.
@grace_gomez1 is that good or bad hahah I don’t get it?
I'm definitely putting in an application, need to work on it this week Anyone got and good resources for this from YC alumnii??
@william_mathews1 dm me on linkedin, can share insights, spoke to 7 alums and had my app reviewed by another 15.
@timcha thank you for taking the time, I have dropped you a connection request!

Great video! Short and to the point! I like how you mentioned that this team has already built stuff together.. maybe you can also mention what the results were or put numbers to it? ‘We’ve built 10 apps together in the crypto space that has had combined user base of 7K people’? That’s my only advice, otherwise it’s perfect
@henry_habib thank you loads, wish we had your feedback earlier
Henry Habib
@timcha I’m sure you and your team will get in :)

One can hope for the best! It’s always tough to get it right, but having a product you believe in and being able to clearly communicate on what and why you are doing is a huge step forward.

The idea is good but YC doesn't want videos with pre planning in their application..they clearly mention it in their instructions for applying. They want you to speak naturally.
@keyurahuja bullet points, it’s hard to have a natural chat with 5 people in the video

This is a great idea, guys. YC should give it a chance. 200 paying customers and $40,000 in monthly revenue aren't bad. I'm curious: when did Clustr launch?
@judith_amarachi_ thanks we’ll keep our fingers crossed, we launched this July

Sagar Patel
I did, although I don’t really have any traction at the moment. So my chances are not that high. 😅
Sagar Patel
@uxyemi thanks!! Yeah, the application deadline came just as I am about to launch so, I’m hoping to gain a lot of traction in between this cycle and the next!
Amit Mirgal
I am going to apply; however, your video is clear, concise, and to the point. Best wishes to you and your team !!
@amit_mirgal thank you, good luck on your application also, lmk if I can help

Thanks for sharing the video. I'm applying and will submit our application this week before the deadline. For anyone applying, I would recommend reading Paul Graham's guide (logic) on what makes a good application - https://www.ycombinator.com/howt...
