Ask HN: Should anyone wait for YC, or...?

There is certainly something(facts actually) in the air about YC, but should anyone consider applying somewhere else where applications are open?

There is no real urge to apply really... but as we just entering the starup arena, some guidence would be great.

TC Disrupt coming up, AngelPad has one free spot, TechStars just opened up... this could make you inpatient somehow... :)

ps: I know, i know. Put together the minimum, get users, get feedback, make changes, get more users, make more changes or move on. We are doing it! :)
