I'm a Canadian startup founder. Y Combinator's initial decision to shut out Canadian startups was totally justifiable.

My cofounder and I officially founded West Tek Defense Corporation in August 2022. We were doing smart rifles for the military. It was complicated. (At one point, we were literally balancing redox equations for propellant in the ammo.) The physics background we both had helped a lot; essentially, everything we saw was something we'd encountered in a class or during personal research. We spent about three years on the entire process. Ultimately, we found out it wasn't going to work - mostly because of regulation.
