The document compares YCombinator (YC) and 1M/1M. It notes that YC is more exclusive and accepts fewer than 100 ventures per year, requires moving to Silicon Valley, and accepts entrepreneurs twice per year. In contrast, 1M/1M is more inclusive and accessible to entrepreneurs anywhere at any time. While YC invests funds in exchange for equity, 1M/1M charges an annual $1000 membership fee for unlimited support. The document also notes differences in funding requirements, support for bootstrapping, and focus areas between the two organizations.
