Or maybe quit and re seed the DNA of your founding team. People get into YC all the time without an idea.
It's about the people.
I know someone who literally spent a year finding roommates and living with them in advance in order to cultivate a better YC application.
It's competitive, and 99.9% of the rejected will end up failing.
It's hard to listen and put in the effort but it's worthwhile, having a chip on your shoulder doesn't really make you more productive often it slows you down because you're working in circles to address your emotional needs rather than really listening to the business feedback.
OK, just some ranting from someone who has been rejected by YC for over 10 years now (not really something I want to brag about) but has been fortunate enough to receive investment and grooming from other fine people in the business community.
Keep at it (I kept at it and I'm honestly loving the results) but maybe really change and listen.
