    16:46 : what are you looking at in a yc application :
    Ans : 1) Can the team build the product?
    2) what's the progress over time?
    3) what insight about the industry do they have that the competitive set or the industry doesn't believe
    Some time previously : how concise is the application and is it clear so that anyone can understand what is being said?

    Diversity is a ‘huge, huge problem’ - I’m sorry but it just is not. Anyone with an internet connection and drive can apply to SUS. The biggest blocker to success is your mindset and pain tolerance for failure. Capitalism in a free democracy cares very little about your race and very much about what value you offer.
    Diversity of opinion and ideas however...that’s another story.
