Building VertoX with or without YC, 5th application submitted.

For the 5th time in 28 months, I’ve just submitted our application to Y Combinator.

Over the last two years of building VertoX, we’ve kept shipping regardless of external validation. We are building with or without YC. But let’s be real, YC is an insane lever. The network, the founders, the speed, it just accelerates everything.

Honestly, this time feels completely different. We’ve grown, our tech is way sharper, and the foundation is stronger than ever. I have a really good gut feeling about this batch.

If you’ve gone through YC or made it to the interview stage: what were the most unexpected or brutal questions they hit you with? What should I be relentlessly preparing for right now?

Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments or DMs.

We keep building. Big news coming soon.
