How do you get Hackernews karma?
Write good comments. Submissions get you an order of magnitude more karma than comments. It may be different for “famous” people like tptacek and Animats who are instantly recognized in any comment thread, so that lots of highly upvoted comments make up for the comment/submission discrepancy.
What percentage does Y Combinator take?
YC Batch Investment: We’ll invest $125k in return for 7% of your company using a “post-money” Simple Agreement for Future Equity (the “YC Safe”). We think that $125k is currently the right amount for founders to be able to run their company and pay expenses for around 5-6 months, and sometimes even longer.
Is Ycombinator worth?
Well, my answer is: absolutely yes. Absolutely and I would do it over again. Whenever we exit Proof and I start another company, I will strongly consider taking another company through Y Combinator as well. That’s because having that Y Combinator brand opens so many doors.
