One of my startup's products (http://cookiewords.com/en/ http://cookiewords.com/en/) won us a hackathon in Korea that was hosted by Evernote, who flew us to Evernote HQ in Silicon Valley this past February. We weren't part of an accelerator per se, but during our week-long stay we got to meet with anyone we wanted, including CEO Phil Libin and COO Ken Gullicksen, their developers, designers, etc. In fact, they were the ones who originally encouraged us to apply to YC's Summer 2013 class, and we were able to get recommendations from COO Ken Gullicksen and former-CNET-journalist-turned-evangelist Rafe Needleman (author of the blog post above). Unfortunately we got a rejection email this morning, but we got more help from Evernote than we could have ever expected. The fact that they don't take any equity in their new accelerator program shows just how awesome a company Evernote is, and I'd highly recommend anyone in the "memory/productivity enhancement" space to give it a shot.
