The product we're launching is pretty easily monetized, money isn't really the issue for us. Professional resources and experience was the main reason we chose to apply. We can reach ramen profitability with the first 5-7 clients. The main reason for applying to YC was the awesome amount of exposure the startups get, both to press and to VC's. I contemplated long before submitting the application, and giving up a small share of the company for a kickstart seemed reasonable, not to mention having access to office hours. Best of luck to everyone.
