Dang, I had gone the last two years but was rejected this time around. The rejection was a bit surprising as my startup is much further along. I guess YC figured I should have learned startups by now. :) More seriously, does anyone know how the criteria worked this year? Did it hurt ones' chances to be a part of a VC backed startup, as ycom was trying to get more novice entrepreneurs who could benefit more? My cofounder did get in: were there limits on number of attendees from each company?

Accepted :) feel very grateful again I do wonder how the "balance" is between new people and those who've attended 1 or more times before, as well as people from other countries. I also wonder if there might be a time to choose a larger venue to accommodate more people, or the current limit is a good way to maintain the character of the school.
