hey everybody, I made a sign-in as Y combiner button and also works with other top incubators like Stanford, Startx, and other top VCs like Sequoia
It’s using only public information about which companies and which domains are funded by Y Combinator and the years they are founded
i created this because we have a popular sign-in with trusted router feature that lets people use their AI credits on other apps so that the apps can let user choose which model they want to use or use unlimited credits
And I found, as an app developer, I often want to offer discounts to Ycombinator companies. I know Y Combinator companies get a lot of deals, but it can be kind of annoying to set up all the credits and all of that. This makes it super duper easy to offer credits to all Y Combinator companies now and in the future. Just generally, it gives you a much more whitelisted set of early users, basically
It’s basically similar to how I launch turntable.fm back in 2011, where I only allowed people to invite friends who they’re already friends with someone on the turntable.fm through their Facebook connections, and the justification was to only allow people with good taste. In this case, we wanna only allow or only give credits that are free and substantial to the users who have, you know, some kind of validation through my commentator, Startx, or some VCs
I’m also taking a applications for any other VC who wants to get involved and get their portfolio companies white listed into this program
