As you have scaled other things, can't you scale feedback for companies? Atleast, for what you consider top 10% or so? We applied last batch and got a question

We applied last batch and got a question around a competitor that had just gotten funding. Not sure if that was the reason of the reject.
- mwseibel 8y agoUnfortunately with over 8000 applicants each batch that is very very hard but I will talk to our admissions team to see if there is anything we can do to improve in this area. I apologize for how frustrating it is to get a YC rejection.
- olalekan007 8y agoP.S I'll advise everyone to visit siebel's Molly page (https://molly.com/michael/q/eyJpZCI6IDEwMTR9/what-are-some-of-your-favourite-questions-to-ask-founders)there https://molly.com/michael/q/eyJpZCI6IDEwMTR9/what-are-some-o... are answers to most of your questions on there. It's a great guide for your application process and you would be able to deduce why you are accepted/rejected from the analytics of those answers. With +-8000 applications you'll need all the help you can get to make your application stand out.
- hluska 8y agoI think you should be commended for actually giving rejections. It's a very kind thing in a world of radio silence.
- sfraise 8y agoHow about just adding a "feedback" box that reviewers could add feedback to if they wanted which could then be included with the rejection email?
