YC takes the least amount of time to apply among most VC. Even if you are insider, most VC will have 3-5 calls before deciding which takes 3 hours at the very minimum. If you have pitch deck, YC application requires 2 hours to fill and 15 minutes for interview.
And based on experience, almost all early stage VCs give heavy benefit to insiders or credentials, including YC.
