Once up a short-time ago, YC engineers pitched like, well, engineers.
Not. No. More.
Presos are SLICK. Pitches are rehearsed with an intensity and emotional turbidity of a Scorsese scene at SXSW Film.

That is the good news.

You’re in YC because “it’s distribution”. You’re in YC because you’re hoping to “go viral”.
Look, I see your marketing plan. Listen to not me, Larry Chiang (engineer who peaked Soph year). Listen to my mentor. Not my Mark McCormack mentor, NY Times best selling mentor. My other NY Times best selling mentor, Tim Ferriss.
Mr Ferriss said. If your book is 400 pages, your marketing plan should be 800.
