Merry Christmas Everyone! From India

Wow great to have a Pathologist in the Room.

I think this device is super awesome and I was trying to come up with something similar a few years back.

The primary concerns is that one of the first things I learnt in Med School is that capillary blood is way less reliable in compare to venous blood for something as important as CBC.

Not sure how they are accounting for the issue that the sample they have isn't the best one to get started with.

ps: killjoywashere how do I get in touch with you ? Am at Asingh [at] healthenclave.com

Great advice !!

Thanks. But for me, I am NOT looking for any external validation. Except my users, whom I deeply care about. My situation (being in a Developing country) is a little different from your IMHO.

I think SendGrind, Buffer, Couchbase and Ionic Framework are a few notable ones that were previously discussed. BTW: great to see you here. I used Feedly(get stream) a while back in a project of mine and it worked liked a charm.

Hello Michael,

I was suggested by few YC Alums that YC will not accept a startup if the founders are not working full time on it.

Question: In my case I am working full time because it's helping me fund my startup and It's actually helping me grow it due to connection to my peers (I am M.D from India working on a Health Startup). Is this a bad sign ?

I simply do not have the resources (and enough revenue) to quit my job Yet. But I am dedicated 200 % towards my startup and the vision. And I spend most of my time (outside of work) on my startup.

Thanks that makes a lot of sense.

Not official YC advice. But I believe I read somewhere Avg. YC company gets rejected twice before being accepted. What matters is are you making progress in the direction of your vision.

Fellow Indian Founder here. PG once said (I think to AirBnB) go where your users are.

Hello Michael,

Thanks for the AMA

Question: Is there are more stringent criteria for accepting international founders and companies, focused on their local markets?

The reason I am asking this is because most of the companies from India in the latest batch, seem to have a lot of traction and/or significant amount of funding before being accepted into YC. Most looks like good candidates for Series A.

Vs other US based founders and startups in the current and previous batches

As a Medical Doc and a health tech entrepreneur current living in Bilaspur. I find this fascinating. But I think the village where JSS is located is called as Ganiyari ??
