But is it compatible with YC? "Hard tech" usually means years of work and millions of dollars up front. YC is oriented towards sub-$100K fundings and a few months to "demo day".
Demo day expectations would be different.
The point of any accelerator is to push you forward as much as they can during those few months, so you can show a lot of progress and make the most out of a demo day.
$100K in funding can help you go a long way towards raising those millions of dollars.
