"And in actual fact it is very rare to hear a good idea from a group we don't want to fund." -- pg http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=548299 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=548299 My co-founder noted that the rejection email contradicted this, but I'm sure there is some there is an explanation such as we are bad at selecting successful startups.
