I will refrain from commenting on your specific situation, but if you do the math, it seems highly unlikely that YC has not accepted competitors of many, many rejects.
Execution matters. The idea matters. The people matter. The timing matters. Luck matters. It all matters. Don't take it personally.
- resdirector 15y agoAgreed 100%. Am interested to hear some other people's experiences, to see how often it happens etc. lessons learned etc. (EDIT: and to be honest, there's about 1% of me that does take it personally, in that he loved the idea, but perhaps he wasn't sold that we were the ones to do it)
- abbasmehdi 15y agoWhat gives you the idea that he loved the idea and/or something he'd fund?
- dholowiski 15y agoIf you watch the video, I think it's clear that he loved the idea, although he never really said if he'd fund it.
- abbasmehdi 15y agoFrom the video it seems like he found a suitable pivot for them, that's about it, the rest are assumptions.
