malshina·Dec 16, 2022malshina·Dec 16, 2022Thank you so much! I find team being a tricky one - are they looking for Ivy League or FAANG experience? Are they interested in solo female founders?
NatalieRiso·Jan 12, 2023NatalieRiso·Jan 12, 2023I wouldn't say they are looking for those kinds of backgrounds unless it matches up with your startup. Ultimately, it's more important to have relevant experience in your sector. Solo female founders can apply, but ik 500, techstars, and Y combinator rarely take solo founders regardless of gender.
