Capital is getting scarce.
It's getting increasingly harder for founders to get attention, let alone funding. For instance, let's take a look at how YC's acceptance rate has changed from 2005 to 2024:
2005
2010
2015
2020
2024
~$120k
Total amount invested in that year. 2
$20k
Check size in that year.
<100
Total number of applicants in that year.
8
Number of applicants accepted in that year. 1
8%
Acceptance
Rate.
The data above shows that although the amount of capital allocated and the number of startups selected has increased, the pool of applicants has outgrown them. As a result of the intense competition, the acceptance rate is on the decline, not only for YC, but for any funding opportunity.
It's critical to engage with investors and build trust. But even before fundraising you need to stand out.
