Hey HN! Aaron here. I hope you find this post helpful, and happy to answer any questions!

I've recommended teams that have been accepted, and recommended teams that have been rejected. It's really just another data point to consider, not a golden ticket.
And it certainly can't hurt to network with YC alumni, for reasons beyond just getting a rec.

Ultimately what you want to do is de-risk the potential investment by showing that you have significant traction, and having actual paying customers is a great way to do that.

Wow, thanks Sean. That really means a lot to hear.

Yes and no. In my situation (OP), I had about a month to find a place for my wife to live in NYC (until I got there after YC), find a place for our team to live in SF, and find someone to rent the place we owned in the DC area. And it all worked out. Sometimes the time constraints can be a good thing.
