Cut the crap — complete a YC application

<p><strong>GUEST ENTRY: This week, we asked Danish startup&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.duuoo.io/?utm_source=medium&amp;utm_medium=blog+network&amp;utm_campaign=promotion+duuoo+features&amp;utm_term=cphftw+followers&amp;utm_content=cphftw+aimee+post" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Duuoo</strong></a><strong>&nbsp;to share some insights from startup life.<br /> During their short lifetime, Duuoo has learned a simple lesson: Cut the crap. Write a Y Combinator application.</strong></p> <p><em>My name is Aimee and I&rsquo;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&rsquo;s why I&rsquo;m sharing this with you.</em></p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*S110-d65d2vSlaIeRJqRzA.jpeg" style="height:393px; width:700px" /></p> <p>Aimee Van de Schoor, Co-founder, Duuoo.</p> <p>For those unfamiliar: YC is short for Y Combinator. They run a startup accelerator programme twice a year in Mountain View, CA. YC&rsquo;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&rsquo;re not necessarily missing out on the YC programme, we&rsquo;re missing out on the application process.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@cphftw/cut-the-crap-complete-a-yc-application-83c11a0a142d"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
