At what time will be the YC S16 invites/rejection emails sent?
- viviennelee 10y agoIn the past it has been around 6/7pm PST
- itsdrewmiller 10y agoDumb question, but what day? :-)
- mrtsepelev 10y agoApril 11 (today), I believe. At least this date is mentioned on apply.ycombinator.com
- martinushk 10y agoExcited about the email as well
- SaaS_throwme 10y agovery!!!!!!!1!
- vlokshin 10y agoTOO EXCITED TO SLEEP!11! :)
- EGreg 10y agoI dont wanna sleep I just wanna keep on refreshing you...
- martinushk 10y agowhere do u live if it's already time to sleep? :)
- chuhnk 10y agoGood luck all!
- baldajan 10y agoThey can be as early as 4-5pm (EST) or as late as 10-11pm (EST). I suspect since this was a longer review round it will be around the 4-5 mark, but who knows.
- chresko 10y agoGood luck everyone!
- _t94r 10y agoHey! Since we're all waiting for the emails why don't we do something productive? Like maybe sharing our ideas so that we could give each other feedback?.. Oh and guys if I may give you an advice : "Plan for the worst and hope for the best!"
- manibatra 10y agoI think that is awesome. I will start then. Our idea in a line would be "Codecademy meets Finance". So we are trying to bring financial education to the masses in an interactive fun way. With hoards of apps available to invest and save now we think that financial education will go a long way in helping people out. We made a quick ( and dirty, frankly a little embarrassing prototype) at : www.thefinac.tk . Do check it out :) We apologise for the bugs that you may encounter. Also if you want to look at the standings of all the Apply HN startups you can do so at www.thefinac.tk/applyhn . Another quick hack we made. Would love to give some feedback on other ideas as well so start posting :)
- tejasn 10y agoThat's a great idea but the website needs some work. But it's fine considering that it is a prototype :)
- manibatra 10y agoThank you for taking out the time to check it out. I agree the prototype is subpar but we are working on the second iteration that will surely be a lot better. Would love to ask you a couple of questions if that's ok : 1. Would you be interested in an approach to learn which includes text and videos ( like Udacity.com) or something which is mostly interactive ( like Codecademy.com / what we planned to convey via prototype )? 2. Are there any particular topics in Finance that you would be interested to know about? (Stocks, mutual funds, investing in general, taxes, etc. )
- tejasn 10y ago1. I guess for learning finance stuff I would prefer an interactive website with a lot of simple as well as real world examples. 2. Mutual funds and SIP. People hear a lot about them but never grasp the concept. I personally was introduced to these terms a month ago.
- sctb 10y agoWe'll send them out late afternoon or evening today, PDT.
- dexterac 10y agoThank you!
- Pradeep2195 10y agoThank you!
- instadeal 10y agoI am setting code deploy, autoscaling and load balancing on AWS, so my app can handle 10.000.000 users ;-) Better to keep the brain busy while we are waiting. Do you think YC has the list ready?
- shayannafisi 10y agosure does.
- sixtoothsameer 10y agoHow many people got their video viewed? How many got 0 views? Or half views?
- karimdag 10y ago"YC has said [..] their software doesn't play well with view counters. Every application gets looked at by multiple reviewers." So don't worry about it, they surely have seen it ;)
- sctb 10y agoVideo play counts will definitely be off, since reviewers don't use the YouTube player directly.
- tim333 10y agoYeah, I just tried downloading my video with youtube-dl and it doesn't show on the counts.
- Jack000 10y agomy view counter went up by 2 for the demo and 1 for the founder video. Didn't think I'd get an interview but did end up getting one.
- sushant2mainali 10y agoWaiting impatiently. Please could someone give me some feedback on my idea and the name. Is someone working on something similar? Any ideas on what features I should try to implement on day one. Thanks. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11448299 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11448299
- chresko 10y agoI would clarify the problem and solution. At first I thought your product (based on the description) was a soup to nuts IoT platform (i.e. building out the hardware as well). I might possibly rephrase your product as 'We're like Facebook Connect for Nest.' Or 'We're like IFTTT for IoT.' I think you want to drive home the point that you're connecting devices from different manufactures and adding additional functionality. The social network aspect is probably less important (I used the Facebook analogy since they were a developer platform at one point).
- sushant2mainali 10y agoThanks for the feedback.
- arijon 10y agopretty cool idea ...I hope you follow through. Check out this conference might be of help :) http://integratecon.com/ http://integratecon.com/
- sushant2mainali 10y agothanks. will definitely check out the conference.
- sushant2mainali 10y agoDo the people who are not accepted also receive an email? Or if you don't receive an interview email, does it imply that you did not get selected to interview?
- chresko 10y agoYou receive a polite rejection email.
- sushant2mainali 10y agoOk. Thanks.
- tosaynet55 10y agoGood luck everyone and continue working on your dreams no matter what the result will be ;)
- ishwardhanuka 10y agoSince a lot of potential amazing startups here, and an applicant myself, do checkout www.sofia.ai guys! We have worked super hard, just like all of you, and it can hopefully be very helpful to you guys during the growth phase (its free!). Cant wait for the results! P.S: would LOVE feedbacks :)

- Bua 10y agoi am freaking out guys.
- martinushk 10y agosame here
- sipox11 10y agoGood to see I'm not the only one :D
- leonardo2204 10y agoIs there any forecast of when the invites will be sent ?
- karimdag 10y agolate afternoon or evening
- mconnolly 10y agoIn the spirit of trying to pass time, my application idea: A service that allows you to not only search for homes, but also make an offer directly online, and receive a 50% commission refund in cash upon purchase. Additionally, all questions that you have about properties, neighborhoods, or any suggestions a typical agent might give you our service can too thorough AI. The premise is simple: Zillow meets home buying. Imagine making an offer directly on a home that you find on Zillow? Not only is this necessary in extremely competitive housing markets such as Boston, LA, and Denver, but the 50% commission discount is possible by generating the documents automatically. Thoughts? Not sure how many of you have purchased a home, but the experience of working with an agent is so outdated. Their value is gone now that most homes are available online through Zillow. All they really do is write contracts. We can do that an automate their knowledge with AI, as well.

- jsonmaur 10y agoJust got my rejection email. Oh well, there's always next time! Good luck to you guys!
- chresko 10y agoJust got my rejection email. Best of luck to everyone!
- S4M 10y agoSame, I got rejected. Good luck to everybody who applied, and to those like me who didn't get accepted, please carry on working on your idea!
- chresko 10y agoQuick promotion - I applied as a solo founder. I'm looking for a co-founder with an EE background and an interest in wearables/hearables. The idea is awesome (of course!) - still in the pre-prototype stage. Would be glad to share more!
- sctb 10y agoInvitations and rejections have been sent for applications that were submitted before the deadline. If you haven't gotten an email, it may have bounced, so please check at https://apply.ycombinator.com https://apply.ycombinator.com with the account that you applied with to see the status.

- javiernanni 10y agoI submitted my (late) application for the Fellowship program yesterday and just got a rejection email. That was fast!
- tim333 10y agoI imagine the system automatically sends a rejection email to all applicants where a human has not clicked an 'invite to interview' button.
- fatimafouda 10y agoI, too, submitted a late application yesterday. The response you got was fast. I hope you're not discouraged though.
- chillmonk 10y agoGot rejected! :D Well, time for some advertising - please visit https://www.chillmonk.com/#/about https://www.chillmonk.com/#/about We're reinventing classifieds and making it safe and fraud free to buy and sell locally.
- celestially 10y agoIs there an ETA on when late submitters will be notified? Or will they be notified on an ad-hoc basis whenever YC gets around to viewing them?
- Gabriele333 10y agoI am a late applicant. According to apps@ycombinator.com, late applications are still under process. All applicant will be eventually notified.
- rajeshsharma 10y agoWe got the invite in positive. Yay!
- GFischer 10y agoAwesome, good luck !
- rajeshsharma 10y agothx
- chresko 10y agoCongrats!
