Ask HN: Rejected by YC? Did they even look?
I've just received the 2nd rejection letter from YC after applying for S17 & W18.
Looking at our youtube stats, I can see that our video was never watched.
This makes me suspicious that our application was ever looked at.
Anybody else see similar behaviour?
As a judge for another incubator, I can tell you I always at least start the videos.
We've got 50k users and revenue, so I'm not worried about the business, just don't want to waste my time applying for YC if we're never even given a look at.
- onyeka 9y agoSame here. Last year when we applied, our video got a look and there was at least one visit to our website from them per Analytics. This year nothing. I was just making this observation to my partner and I'm not sure what to make of it.
- navidkhn1 9y agoDid you apply long enough before the deadline?
- pedalpete 9y agoI was a few days before, but should that really matter? Last time I was more than a week before.
