Cut the crap — complete a YC application
<p><strong>GUEST ENTRY: This week, we asked Danish startup </strong><a href="https://www.duuoo.io/?utm_source=medium&utm_medium=blog+network&utm_campaign=promotion+duuoo+features&utm_term=cphftw+followers&utm_content=cphftw+aimee+post" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Duuoo</strong></a><strong> 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’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.</em></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’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.</p>
