Similarly, don't be deterred from doing something just because investors don't like it. There's some signal there, sometimes, but the amount varies a lot.

I will make an example of myself: I didn't like the Airbnbs' idea initially and encouraged them to work on something else. But they ignored me, and soon won me over.

I'm curious. If you didn't like their initial idea, why did you still accept them into YC?

Because we knew that good ideas often seem bad at first, so we put more weight on our opinion of the founders than our opinion of the idea.

Gonna dive deeper here. If you didn't like the idea, then you must have had significant belief in the founders. Could you narrow down what stood out? Less concerned with how to "get into YC." Just interested in what you like in people.

They seemed relentlessly resourceful. The way they made 30k by selling election themed cereal, for example.
