I recently met a YC alumni that I don't believe has the right angle on the market they are in. I am putting in an application that would compete with them but as I am still in the middle of building my MVP stage I am worried they will get too much information from my application and may pivot to my idea earlier than I would like a competitor to. Do all previous YC alumni get to screen applications?
I am mostly interested in the connections YC offers rather than the money (We intend on bootstrapping as much as we can). If this YC alum has access to this application should we perhaps submit for a later YC class or hold out till we have finished our MVP and apply for a different accelerator program?
What do you guys think?
