- Appsfly_IO 9y agoIt seems like they are faking to generate traffic.

- cvaidya1986 9y agoYay!
- carlocamp 9y agoAwesome:)
- cade_96 9y agoStill waiting here, anyone else?
- haysstanford 9y agoyeah, waiting in the consumer category
- martinushk 9y agowe too. hardware
- haysstanford 9y agoseems b2c and b2b may come last
- martinushk 9y agoi am waiting. invites are still getting out, so nothing is lost
- rvanaki 9y agostill waiting as well. I think invites are done sending. Seems like things have slowed down. Haven't heard of anyone getting rejection letters either
- haysstanford 9y agofairly sure this is sorted by category. what is your category?
- rvanaki 9y agoMy category is B2B
- martinushk 9y agoa lot of people got rejections
- haysstanford 9y agothey may be sending invites from the categories populated least to most. Just a theory based off the anecdote that most consumer categories haven't heard back.
- elliottwilliams 9y agopeople on https://yc.metachat.com/ https://yc.metachat.com/ are saying 25-30 percent of interview slots are already filled. about 200 still open. seems like a lot of invites have been sent.
- rvanaki 9y agoAny B2B acceptances or rejections?
- jaypaulynice 9y agoIf you go to apply.ycombinator.com and then “Previous Applications” if your W18 is there I’m guessing it’s a no?! But I could be wrong!
- Appsfly_IO 9y agoIt's like that from long before.
- rvanaki 9y agoare you saying that this is or isn't an accurate method of predicting the invite?
- bryanchappell 9y agoI spoke with someone earlier who got an invite and they did not see a change on their application. We have not received an invite or a rejection.
- jaypaulynice 9y agoCould someone with an interview confirm?
- turalg 9y agowhat's your evidence?
- evichat 9y agoapparently if you are b2b or b2c stream they haven't sent out that 'batch' yet - rejections or invites.
- haysstanford 9y agoLINK YOUR EMAIL TO BUILD A PRE-YC NETWORK RIGHT NOW. stanfordhays@gmail.com (I am getting a lot of emails, will try to get back to everyone in 24-48 hours.)
- yurylifshits 9y agoGood idea, Hays! yury@yury.name We are open to adding a new team member prior to interviews in COO-type role.
- samyr 9y agoAnyone have any updates? Rejections/invites in the last 15 mins?
- hjordan35 9y agoWe are still waiting...no rejection / no confirmation
- amoah 9y agosame. no invite/rejection

- thediff 9y agoI lost faith in YC and won't apply again. It's easy to fund companies that have traction and make money, but hard when they have neither. If YC had some ability to predict companies that do well when they have only an idea and no code, I no longer see evidence of it. Goodbye.
- blhack 9y agoHey friend, I was pretty bummed out at my last rejection too, and honestly had some similar feelings. Here are a couple of things I realized: 1) Maybe there actually was a problem with the approach we were taking to the problem we were trying to solve (there was). 2) We weren't far enough along for the YC program to actually work for us. YC shouldn't the the solution to bootstrapping. If your team is solid and your solution is solid, then you're going to get to write an "I told you so" letter like you're prompted to in the rejection email. Not only that, but you won't be giving up any equity. Not getting accepted sucks. Hopefully it doesn't discourage you from working on whatever it is that you're working on.
- websitescenes 9y agoGot my 10th rejection late last night. Looked through my demo logs and it didn't seem like anyone even bothered to look at my demo. Then I went back and looked at my application form submission and realized I put the wrong link to my demo.. I spent months preparing for this and I put the wrong link!!?? lol.... Oh well, I can only move forward and continue with our plan. I have a feeling that the 11th time is the charm!
- segmondy 9y agoStarted a slack support group for ycrejects. We will network, work together and support each other to reach our goals. We need not work in isolation. If you're interested ping me, email in my profile.
