Sadly, and I truly mean that, I believe that the Y Combinator model is dead. The idea that you can put something out there on the cheap, get traction and then raise a quick “real” round no longer seems to be valid. While there will always be exceptions to this rule, from what I can see the market for these companies to the VC’s is mostly dead.
betaworks sez: why is “raise a quick real round” the required next step that means this model is dead? It’s one, but not the only, and sometimes not even the best progression. I think in this environment, in fact, Y Comb will thrive.
