Hey Product Hunt — I'm Daniel, the maker of ycombinator.coach. Quick context: I spent 3 years at a VC fund evaluating 1,000+ startup pitches. The pattern was clear — the founders who got specific feedback early always improved faster. YC's process gives you one shot per batch. If you're rejected, you get no feedback, no score, no "here's what to fix." Just silence. I built this to fill that gap. Not generic YC tips — specific, research-backed feedback on YOUR application, YOUR startup, YOUR team. The AI does real work before giving opinions: it reads your pitch deck page by page, scrapes your website, processes your demo video, checks your GitHub and LinkedIn, pulls market data. Then 13 partner personas (each trained on a real YC partner's public content) evaluate you independently. It's free to try. Genuinely want to help more founders put their best application forward. A few questions for the PH community: - If you've applied to YC before, what was the hardest part? - What other accelerators should we support next? (Techstars, 500 Global, etc.) - Any features missing that would make this more useful? Happy to answer anything about the tech, the approach, or YC applications in general.
