As someone who did yc in s09 and w19, it was very different. But, you get out what you put in, like most things. These generalized critiques are useless. B2b is thriving at yc because it’s easier and more in the wheelhouse of developers. If there were tech climbers there I didn’t meet them. There are so many people the useless are easy to avoid. We got 6 months of work done in 3 months and the bigger check vs 09 was very helpful.
Also if you look at how the US economy works, all the money is in businesses, not consumers - compare the current stock market to the unemployment numbers for example. B2B was always going to out-compete B2C in the long run.
