Even though I was also rejected by YC without an interview - Not "ready" or "prepared", and no co-founder, were the likely reasons, I can accept being rejected.

I still believe that PG's opinion counts for a lot. I doubt many seed programs have partners that loose sleep over missed opportunities.
- thaumaturgy 16y agoI think it's easy for a lot of people to forget that VC and seed-stage investors aren't in business to help you; they're in business primarily to help themselves, in the form of sexy portfolio companies, talent acquisitions, and investments that pay back later. The relationship is at best symbiotic, so as long as they're healthy, I'm certain that they don't lose any sleep at all over the "opportunities" that they pass up.
- zackattack 16y agoI think pg really regrets not funding smanek. :)
