An Engineer's View of Venture Capitalists

Despite a bad start, I caught the start-up bug. In the years since, I have worked with more than 30 start-ups as founder, advisor, engineer, executive, and board member. It's a lot more than that if you count all the times I've tried to help "nerd" friends (engineers) connect with the "rich guys" (VCs). Naturally, I've formed opinions along the way. Fortunately, engineers are trained problem-solvers-- I want to harness that power. My first experience with VCs was as an engineer starting a microprocessor-design company; VCs were the gods of money.

I wasn't the CEO; I hired and managed the engineering teams that eventually reached the goal. The board member from our largest VC firm invited me to his house in Woodside for a chat about the morale problems. We talked about the situation at the start-up. VCs are sheep. Valuation.

What We Do

Seed funding is the earliest stage of venture funding. It pays your expenses while you’re getting started. Some companies may need no more than seed funding. Others will go through several rounds. At Y Combinator, our goal is to get you through the first phase. More Than Money We make small investments in return for small stakes in the companies we fund. All venture investors supply some combination of money and help. See a list of the benefits and resources available to YC founders here.

What happens at Y Combinator? The questions at this stage range from apparently minor (what to call the company) to frighteningly ambitious (the long-term plan for world domination). Though we fund all types of startups, we’re especially interested in web/mobile applications. The second most important thing we do is help founders deal with investors and acquirers.
