GUEST ENTRY: This week, we asked Danish startup Duuoo to share some insights from startup life.
During their short lifetime, Duuoo has learned a simple lesson: Cut the crap. Write a Y Combinator application.
My name is Aimee and I’m one of the co-founders of Duuoo. We launched the company publicly a few months ago and at the same time applied for YC. We learned a lot from that experience, and that’s why I’m sharing this with you.
Aimee Van de Schoor, Co-founder, Duuoo.
For those unfamiliar: YC is short for Y Combinator. They run a startup accelerator programme twice a year in Mountain View, CA. YC’s accelerator programme is not something you hear many Danish startups talking about, and I feel we might be missing out on something great. We’re not necessarily missing out on the YC programme, we’re missing out on the application process.
