YC Approval Score
LinkedIn Bio Mistaken For Pitch Deck
“You submitted a dating profile to a venture capital firm.”
The pitch
I'm a unicorn founder, was a national swimmer and I'm great at baking
What to fix (if you dare)
What Problem Are You Actually Solving?
Describe one specific, painful problem you've personally experienced — in one sentence. No adjectives, no backstory about swimming.
Where's The Actual Startup?
Name the product, who it's for, and why you're the right person to build it. 'I'm great at baking' is not a moat unless you're disrupting bread.
Prove You're Serious, Not Interesting
YC funds determination, not credentials. Show a prototype, a waitlist, one paying customer — anything that proves you've shipped something beyond vibes.
Genuine advice
Your background might genuinely make you a compelling founder — but only if it's *causally connected* to the problem you're solving. Tell us why swimming nationals or baking obsession gave you an insight nobody else has. That's a hook; what you wrote is just a résumé.
