There’s a much higher bar even to apply in hard tech. Also, 150$k for a hard tech company is very little to go for it. And most value from YC-network seems to come from B2B tools.
"Hard tech companies that apply to YC actually have about a 10x higher acceptance rate than other kinds of applications. I suspect it's something to do with certain kinds of founders being attracted to really ambitious ideas."https://www.startupschool.org/videos/78

Pg, in your opinion, how much harder is it for a hard-tech company to succeed vs a non-hard tech?
-
Somewhat harder, but not enough harder that it matters more than the qualities of the founders.
