If we're trying to get people to move away from VCs, why are there such few startups accepted. It's almost as if we're bragging about leaving startup founders with the craziness that is venture capital. Other than that, I work at a YC and Wefunder company who doesn't like giving idea of liquidating investors to spend on marketing/investory. I'd love if XX takes off.


Good point :) We didn't expect that many applications; we would've wanted to accept more if we had more in funds. That's why we created a Fellowship program a week after Fight the Virus batch started - there were so many qualified founders we still wanted to support. And half of the startups raising on Demo Day are from the fellowship! If you have ideas for how we can scale this to include more founders in the future, message me!
