I believe YC gives founders 150K not 25-35K

RJ Youngling you’re right! Techstars gives 18k and YC 150k. Thanks for catching that!

hi sir you are doing great videos love from india can you please tell me that the some detail of y combinator accelerator programme because I can't come to san francisco and afford living there for three months it is very higher when compared to our currency so that I should save some money for going through it and is it worth for other countries

[@AudraGibson]

Both are very competitive accelerators. YC is based in the valley. Techstars has accelerators in various cities around the world and a virtual one. Neither however are something you simply save up for an do. There is an extensive application process. To do either you should have product market fit and be a for profit high growth/high scale startup. If you’ve raised $0-1 Million dollars you’re in the right range. If you haven’t found product market fit or can’t take the leap to another country yet, look for a pre-accelerator or accelerator closer to you geographically. Best wishes!
