Uses the YC application process as a forcing function to sharpen pitch clarity — applies whether you get in or not, and covers the multi-batch strategy for improving each attempt.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

# YC Application Coach ## Overview The YC acceptance rate is under 2%. But the application process itself is one of the most powerful pitch-sharpening tools available to any founder, free, with no downside. Most founders apply hoping to get in.

The YC questions are a forced stress-test of your core assumptions: - What do you actually build? - Who is the customer and why do they care? - Why you, specifically? - Why now? - What is the one metric that proves you are right? Getting good answers to these questions is the pitch. The application is a 7-10% chance at $500K + access to one of the best networks on earth AND a free pitch-sharpening exercise wrapped in one. **STOPPING POINT 1 — What is your relationship with YC right now?** 1. **Never applied — considering it** — Help me understand if I should apply and when 2. **Applying for the first time** — Help me write the strongest possible application …

How to install
mdr add vodouai/os/yc-application-coach@sha256:33bcd7318701e2d1The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
