Re: [DIYbio] Re: YCombinator for Biotech Open now in SF (Indie Bio prev SynBioAxlr8r)

Definitely! I'm not trying to undermine the value of the program, or doubt the honesty of your words. I think you're in the clear.

But, over-hype can be a dangerous thing. I mostly want to add another perspective to the conversation, other than the folks running it.

Cheers,

Kevin

Hey Kevin,

Sorry it appears misinforming to you. All I can say is that I'm speaking honestly about my plans for IndieB.io Cork.

Thanks for chipping in, though, and I would love to hear more from past teams about how to improve the programme.

Best,
Cathal

Nice discussion here! Although, I seem to be the first one of the participants in the first round of teams posting here.

The hype is good and all, but there's a lot more to consider before signing anything. Definitely apply, but there are certain things to watch out for before you commit. There is at least a bit of misinformation going on here. I'll leave it at that without going into too much detail.

Also, I'd be happy to help you out, for free. I would also recommend reaching out to some of the other teams involved as well.

Kevin

By the way, the application form for the Cork and SF programmes are both
live, for applications:

http://indieb.io/apply-to-ireland/
http://indieb.io/apply-to-sf/

In both cases, remember the following:
* You can apply to both, or for multiple projects.
* Application is not an agreement to participate on your part; that
  comes later. So you stand to lose nothing by applying, you can always
  turn down if we make you an offer.
* Ownership over and confidentiality of your ideas is guaranteed
  throughout and after the application process, whether or not you are
  offered or accepted into the programme(s).
* Be sure to email me if you make an application, just in case it
  doesn't reach me directly yet. We're still working on the Cork/SF
  split and there may be hiccups.

Happy applying, hope to see some fun projects!
best,
Cathal
