YC Rejection Letters Are Out - Share your rejected project
Once again, I was on the receiving end. 10th time for me (but with multiple different projects/startups)!
Is that a record?

- true_religion 7y agoThis isn’t a terrible idea. It reminds me of that mobile game “Episode”
- enos_feedler 7y agoThat could be a record :) Do you feel like your startups got better with each application, or they were just different ideas?
- pedalpete 7y agoBoth. I am working on very different ideas. The most recent is the first time I have something that can be explained simply, which lots of people suffer with, etc. But I only came up with it a few weeks before I submitted my application. My last start-up is still going, and making some money, but still after 4 years it's difficult to explain and understand the market for 3D mapping, volumentric video, and where that intersects with outside sports. Come up with a one-liner for that https://ayvri.com https://ayvri.com

- pedalpete 7y agoYou must work for Neurun. Did we speak a few months ago. Anyway, Ayvri is going on doing it's own thing. It keeps growing every month. Now, we're on to some bigger stuff.
- icodestuff 7y agoNah, a family friend does.
- notahacker 7y agoFor the consumer, that video is better than any one liner. One liners don't generally make me want to play with an app for the next hour :D
- pedalpete 7y agoThat's so kind. Thank you. When people ask me what I do, 99% of the time, I have to pull out my phone and say "easier to show you then try to explain it". Thanks for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it.
- swypych 7y ago10th time, wow! admire the dedication.
- ThePhysicist 7y agoI always wondered if they see applying many times with different ideas as a red flag, as it might indicate that someone quickly abandons things?
