A friend and I were discussing whether it still makes sense to apply to Y Combinator if a startup has already raised a significant seed round — say $1M or even $5M — from institutional VCs.
Would YC still provide meaningful value at that stage, or is it mostly helpful for earlier, pre-traction companies? Curious if anyone has experience with this or has seen it play out.
