Just submitted my YC app. Spoke to a few founders who got in & here’s what really mattered (and what didn’t):. • Clarity beats creativity. If someone can’t understand your idea in 1 line, it’s a pass. • Deadlines and dates show momentum. Put them everywhere. • Be stupidly

wrapped july with wild numbers. me and my cofounder sat down for a full day just going deep into the data. broke down what genres parents chose, what themes kept showing up, which age groups used what. ended up figuring the real use case for storyowl.not just storybooks. it's.

Went to the park today just to sit with little kids for a while. StoryOwl is for them. About them. Only makes sense to keep seeing the world through their eyes.

as a founder, you should know your exact numbers. that’s what drives the business. dumped our db to Claude and now we’ve got a clean dashboard with all the insights we might have missed otherwise. ps: the graphs are going up and to the right. life’s good uk :).

learnt this while building storyowl:. someone’s a user only if they are ready to pay. someone’s an investor only if they are ready to invest. don’t get flattered by seeing them say “cool idea” or “interesting concept”. eyes wide open. always.

MUST Apply !!!.
Solo founders are underestimated. We’re changing that. In May we launched the Solo Founders Program (<1% acceptance rate) for six founders to build together in SF. 60 days in: millions raised, 35k GitHub stars, rapid growth. Join us: Fall 2025 applications close soon.
