I don't understand something. YC rejects groups because they have a limited number of slots. They say it's not that your idea is bad, but because they cannot fund everyone. Then they open up the field for late applications. For me, that means that they find my idea bad and they are still looking for good ideas to fill up their roster. Does that make sense, or am I just bitter?

I think they are just keeping the door open for the 'killer' idea & team.

  It's just so demoralizing for someone to tell you that you aren't that 'killer idea and team' combo.

    True, but funding is tough... Most entrepreneurs get used to hearing 'no', they press on and eventually get a 'yes'.
