just curious, but why aren’t more investors cool with founders sending YC apps instead of decks? (or are they?)

like i’m writing both now, and i just find YC’s memo to be so much better at pulling out the important info.

is it just length of time it takes to skim?

can’t speak to other funds but we have a custom application flow at calm fund. better for founders (who can save their app mid-stream and revisit later) and for us. everyone saves time and we only proceed to a call if there’s a high chance we’ll invest. (we use ours rather than YC’s given our fund’s focus.)
