Though it might seem that way, it was more that YC was a last straw. We think we had an interesting product and there were a lot of possibilities, but there were also a lot of other problems as well, some I wrote about and some I didn't. I definitely wouldn't let a YC decision have an impact on your business, but consider their feedback one part of many that you will receive while building your company, and react accordingly.
- pclark 16y agoYou should build something else instead of entirely stopping.
- hubb 16y agoFTA: It was a huge confidence booster that I will take with me into my future projects. I hope to interview with YC again with whatever project I happen on next (maybe Fready?)
- pclark 16y agoI hope he started the day after rejection, is what I meant
- yesimahuman 16y agoWhy would I ever stop? :) This product is no longer, but there are many other related ones that build on what I've learned and I'm currently exploring them.
- meterplech 16y agoFair enough- I would definitely classify that as other information. Didn't mean to be overly judgmental. I just know that TechCrunch recently had an article about foreign startups aiming for funding and not building a business, and was thinking of that.
